“Daphny” charts the real-life nightmare experienced by a friend of Xiu Xiu singer Jamie Stewart, who — following an arrest for shoplifting — was raped by an officer while in police custody.

Fling the pigs carcass over your shoulder

Knot the neck of an ostrich around your arm and
Punch that bird in the face
In an instant you are rewarded with its meat
And men of power have raped you
For shoplifting an X-box
Take a photo of your friend vomiting on your head
You are free from depression
The tear in your mind
Has freed you
From having a body at all
Enjoy life!
Enjoy life!
Enjoy this life!
