Trans Mantra - Ezra Furman

I wake up early to get things started

I do my make up and I do my hair

I practice walking and speaking softly

So it looks easy as if I don’t care

On bad days I take it slowly

On good days I’m up and out in an hour

The past is over it’s just behind me

It’s getting closer but it holds no power

I don’t want to know

I don’t want to know if this ain’t about me

I don’t want to know

I don’t want to show that it devastates me

I’m living somewhere nobody goes to

I’m speaking in a language nobody talks

The window broken, a cold wind blows through

My soul a series of electrical shocks

A failed equation, a hypothetic

A woman standing with constructed define

Existing as a minimalism

Only just barely as a woman at all

I don’t want to know

I don’t want to know if this ain’t about me

I don’t want to know

I don’t want to show that it devastates me

I don’t want to know (I don’t want to)

I don’t want to know if this ain’t about me (I don’t want to know)

I don’t want to know (I don’t want to)

I don’t want to go where the demon’s free (I don’t want to know)

(I don’t want to)

(I don’t want to know)

(I don’t want to)

(I don’t want to know)

(I don’t want to)

(I don’t want to know)
