"All Born Screaming" lyrics - ST. VINCENT

I have climbed power lines and mountains
Just to feel above the ground
I have crawled out your hallowed houses
Just to feel my headache pound
I feel like graffiti on a urinal in the abattoir
Well, it goes and it goes
I can't stop my legs, I can't feel my feet
I own nothing and nothing owns me

[Chorus:]
We're all born screaming
We're all born screaming
Ayy-ah, ayy-ah

I have climbed into open arms
They turned into a straitjacket
Stolen hearts I didn't need, but
Man, I always paid for them
I was a pantomime of a modern girl
Those were the days, and I was miserable
A karaoke version of Leonard's "Hallelujah"
My whole damn life, I had never exhaled
Oh well

[Chorus:]
We're all born screaming
We're all born screaming
We're all (All) born (Born) screaming
We're all (All) born (Born) screaming

[Post-Chorus:]
Ayy, well, ayy
Well, well, well
Oh-oh

[Instrumental break]

[Outro:]
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
