[Intro]

Oh no

Oh no, I got old

I need a drink to spill my blackest ink

Still think that I am chasing thirty-one

Beauty privilege wasted on the young

My friends, the leavings have begun

I've paid my dues to Caesar

Pray to be spared from Shiva


[Chorus]

I've been a whore, a samurai, a guru

Burnt as a witch, worked for the church, a cockatoo

Think I'd be wise from all these lives

But maths won't help ya, maths won't help ya

I've been a monk, an alien, Habiru

I've been a punk, a saint, a fool, a Vishnu

I've been killer and now I'm a singer

Having a breakthrough I'm about to go rogue

On a roll

On a roll


[Verse]

I've taken off my clothes

I'm lying here, I'm feeling so exposed

My body won't do tricks and flips with grace

My body won't behave

Try bulking up, I'm losing too much weight

My face, my face, my face is full of folds

I'm still mesmerized by cleavage

I won't come to Jesus

Lovers of life burn bright, super nova

If your judging is hard, come back when you're older

Find you a song, sing from your bones

Dance 'til you drop, forget you're being watched

Dance into your trauma there's a key to each lock

From the belly of a whale, out stepped Jonah

All I know, know nothing's for certain

My curse was a blessing, the cure was the poison


[Chorus]

I've been a whore, a samurai, a guru

Burnt as a witch, worked for the church, a cockatoo

Think I'd be wise from all these lives

But maths won't help ya, maths won't help ya

I've been a monk, an alien, Habiru

I've been a cunt, a saint, a fool, a Vishnu

I've been killer, now I am a singer

Having a breakthrough, I'm about to go rogue

On a roll

On a roll

On a roll

On a roll

On a roll


[Outro]

Where'd I put that "Where'd you gone" song?

Where'd you put that "Turn you on" song?

Think I'd be wise from all these lives

Some of us still got work to do

Where'd I put that "Where'd you gone" song?

Where'd I put that "Turn you on" song?

Think I'd be wise through all these lives

Some of us still got work to do
