St. Vincent – All Born Screaming Lyrics

I have climbed power lines and mountains just to feel above the ground
I have crawled out your hallowed houses just to feel my headache pound

I feel like graffiti on a urinal in the abattoir, well it goes and it goes
I can’t stop my legs, I can’t feel my feet, I own nothing, and nothing owns me
‘E

We’re all born screaming
We’re all born screaming, ‘eah
‘Eah

I have climbed into open arms, they turned into a straight jacket
Stolen hearts I didn’t need, but man, I always paid for them

I was a pantomime of a modern girl, those were the days, and I was miserable
A karaoke version of Leonard’s “Hallelujah,” my whole damn life, I had never exhaled
Oh well

We’re all born screaming
We’re all born screaming
We’re all (All) born (Born) screaming
We’re all (All) born (Born) screaming, ‘eah
Well, ‘eah
Well, well, well

Oh, oh

All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
All born screaming
