Reprieve 2ª estrofe
Manhattan is an island
Like the women who are
Surrounded by children in the car
Surrounded by cars

Reprieve 3ª estrofe
Or manhattan was a project
That projected the worst of mankind
First one and then the other
Has made its mark on my mind

Reprieve 4ª estrofe

Reprieve 5ª estrofe
It's sixty years later near the hypo-center of the a-bomb
I'm standing in the middle of hiroshima
Watching a twisted old eucalyptus tree wave

Reprieve 6ª estrofe
One of the very few lives that survived and lives on
Remembering the day it was suddenly thousands of degrees
In the
Shade

Reprieve 7ª estrofe
And what all of nature gave birth to
Terror took in a blinding raid
With the kind of pain
It would take cancer so many years just to say

Reprieve 8ª estrofe
Oh to grow up gagged and blindfolded
A great big mans world in your little girls head
The voice of the great mother drowned out

Reprieve 9ª estrofe
In the constant honking haunting the accident scene up ahead
Oh to grow up hypnotized and then try to shake yourself awake
Cause you can sense what has been lost
Cause you can sense what is at stake

Reprieve 10ª estrofe

Reprieve 11ª estrofe
Yeah it took me a few years to catch on that those days i catch everyone's eye
Correspond with those nights of the month when the moon gleans like an egg in the sky
And men are using a sense they don't even know they have just to watch me walk by

Reprieve 12ª estrofe

Reprieve 13ª estrofe
And me, i'm supposed to be sensible, leave my animal outside to cry
But when all of nature conspires to make me her glorious whore

Reprieve 14ª estrofe
It's cause in my body i hold the secret recipe of precisely what life is for

Reprieve 15ª estrofe
And the patriarchy that looks to shame me for it is the same one making war and i've said too much already but i'll tell you something more
To split yourself in two is just the most radical thing you can do so girl if that shit ain't up to you, then you simply are not free cause from the sunlight on my hair to which eggs i grow to term
To the expression that i wear, all i really own is me

Reprieve 16ª estrofe
I mean to split yourself in two is just the most radical thing you can do
Goddess forbid that little adam should grow so jealous of eve and in the face of the great farce of the nuclear age
