Lyrics
"In Utero" version

I am my own parasite
I don't need a host to live
We feed off of each other
We can share our endorphins

Doll steak
Test meat

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and or sleeping

I own my own pet virus
I get to pet and name her
Her milk is my shit
My shit is her milk

Test meat
Doll steak

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and or sleeping

Doll steak
Test meat

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and or sleeping
Protector of the kennel
Ecto-plasma, ecto-skeletal
Obituary birthday
Your scent is still here, in my place of recovery

1993.01.22 Rio Sessions, Interpretation 1 (by DN member the_consumer)

She said if all this my way
I never know our god
I got all of my friends, This mother and her dog

She saaaaaaaid
She giiiiiives (this could just be screaming nonsense)

They might as well be fallin (boredom?)
I might as well be the milkman
I might as well be ugly, and never known exists (never go to bed)

Sit still, and I'll dislike her
She said I'm like her son
I drink more milk then he does
I'm a deal, and I want my mom

she SCREAMS
SCREAMS SCREAMS

They might as well be ANAL???
My ?military? stance (?????)
My mother is my father
I know Im never alone

SHE screams
screams
screams

my mother is my father
I wish I could be more to
he likes it/her in the bedroom
I like it better then
I never have to be there (??)
I'm here to take bath
He only puts the choclate
On my pillow before I go to bed




1993.01.22 Rio Sessions, Interpretation 2 (by DN member gaba)

???????????????????
I never know I got
a pill above my friends,
This mother and her dog

She said
She gives

she might as well be foreign
I might as well be the milkman
I might as well be ugly, I never noticed it

Sit still, and I'll dislike her
She said I'm like her son
I drink more milk then he does
I'm ideal, and I want my mom

She bakes
gives

They might as well be able
My military stare
My mother is my father
I know i'll never know

She said
he fled
Heeeeeeaaaaal

the lover is my father
I wish I could drink more milk
she likes it when I’m in the bedroom
I like it when I left
I never have to hear her
I’ll never take a bath
she always puts the chocolate
On my pillow before I go to bed



1993.01.22 Rio Sessions, Interpretation 3 (by DN member Strech)

She said if all (is my way)

The (lover is) no father
I wish I could (drink more milk)

I like it better then
I never have to ?????
I'm here to take a bath
He only puts the chocolate
On my pillow before I go to bed
