A Baby for Pree Lyrics
[Verse]
Blistering Pree, all smiling and swollen
Makes babies to breathe
With their hearts hanging open all over the sheets
As soft as beets in some brown dresser drawer

They'll sting through her chest with a force hard and beating
Till wonderfully wet she will get
Until she's soaked inside her clothes

And when the day it came to pour all her babies
All across the bathroom floor
She will be swimming in them all forever more
