[Intro]
One more time, yeah
[Verse 1]
Am I too contagious?
Full of sick desire
Am I that I promise?
Burning corpsed pyre
[Pre-Chorus]
Then some dude came down
To touch the mother
Mother touched
And dude ain't here no more
Suck your woman down
[Verse 2]
Am I your reflection?
Melting mirror smile
Am I worth the value?
Do my love defile?
[Pre-Chorus]
Then some dude came down
To touch the mother
Mother touched
And dude ain't here no more
Ain't no day the sun don't crack
Try to brand some name across my back
So you care? Find someone to tell you
[Chorus]
Sunshine...
Sweet love, my labor
Don't mind...
I don't care no more
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Memory... set me free, yeah
I don't care no more
Mother, please... come for me, yeah
[Verse 3]
Can you face the question?
Is my soul entire?
[Chorus]
Sunshine...
Sweet love, my labor
Don't mind...
I don't care no more
Sunshine...
Sweet love, my labor
Don't mind...
I don't care no more
