St. Vincent - Birth In Reverse (OFFICIAL AUDIO)

Oh, what an ordinary day
Take out the garbage, masturbate
I'm still holding for the laugh
The dogs will bark so let them bark
The birds will cry I'll let them cry
Here's my report from the edge [Chorus 1]
Like a birth in reverse
What I saw through the blinds
You could say that I'm saying phenomenal lies
On the cosmic eternity party line
Was a birth in reverse in America [Verse 2]
This tune will hum me through the war
Laugh all you want but I want more
Cause what I'm swearing I never sworn before [Chorus 2 x2]
Like a birth in reverse
What I saw through the blinds
You could say that I'm saying phenomenal lies
On the cosmic eternity party line
Was a birth in reverse in America

NPR Music - Ambien Dreams And Naked Desert Walks: St. Vincent On Her New Album

January 08, 2014

BOILEN: When you're in this thing, when you're having this dream-state conversation with this political activist from the '60s who's now long gone, do you think, "This is a song"? Where's the connection between the event and starting to work on a record?

CLARK: I wrote the words to this song in probably five minutes, in a very feverish sort of state. And it's so stream-of-consciousness. You know when you're online and you go, "I really need to look up the Irish potato famine." And then, next thing you know, you make a pit stop at the Black Plague. And then you're like, "Oh wait, what is Kate Middleton wearing?" And then you're like, "Oh! Huey Newton." It was sort of meant to feel like that.
