How is your baby?
What is it like now?
Thought I should call you
To see how it's going

Does it sleep soundly
All through the long night?
Does it wake crying
For you or its mother?

How is the lady
Living there with you?
I can remember
Before you met her

The drugs that we took then
Seemed so much better
We were frightened of nothing
Except what we've become now

We had been soiled
For such a long time
That I thought that we would
Never get older

But you have the proof there
And I will not argue
With what is before me
Living and breathing

So what does it feel like
To create a person?
Could you compare it
To building a snowman?

Or losing a finger?
To give it a body
Or to pulling somebody
Out of the water?

I have a favour
That I have to ask you
Could you pass on the secret
Or am I mistaken?

Is there no such thing?
Do you just choose your life?
Though everything seems so
Hard to make sense of

I will come and see you
When I get it together
Maybe in the winter
When I have some money

We will go walking
Down by the water
Dream beer in the backyard
We can talk longer
