[Verse 1]
Held all within these flesh walls
Pair of dice and domino
Seven fingers and thirteen toes
Wind her up and watch her go
Spin her out of dust, into rock and fire
Oh, holy water
Throw her to the Earth
Through the burning air
Big Bang survivor
[Chorus]
And now you've gotta get it with what you've got
With what you've been given, or not
Now you've gotta get it with what you've got
With what you've been given, or not
I was born to
I was born to
[Verse 2]
Held all within these flesh walls
Envelopes and time capsules
Mark her fingers and mark her throat
Spin her 'round and let her go
Send her like a cup to her mother's table
Swallow, drink the water
Watch her play her part in a long-fixed fable
Oh, as her father's daughter
[Chorus]
Now you've gotta get it with what you've got
With what you've been given, or not
Now you've gotta get it with what you've got
With what you've been given, or not
I was born to
I was born to
I was born to
I was born to
[Bridge]
And thrown through burning air
To whom, for, why, and where?
[Chorus]
And now you've gotta get it with what you've got
With what you've been given, or not
Now you've gotta get it with what you've got
With what you've been given, or not
[Outro]
I was born to
I was born to
I was born to
I was born to
I was born
