Clean Plastic Baby

Think of me

Doctor Morris dial 188, please
Doctor Morris please dial 188

Oh! What joy! A child of our own

Oooh, such a handsome child
With a fusebox smile
I think he's trying to speak now
he's got nothing to say
He must have nothing to say
Nothing, you say?

I cannot hate you
Why should I bother?
I never felt anything anyway

Dark in the bedroom
Why should you bother?
You never saw each other
why should you see me now?

Yeah-yeah get it up

The child can't do anything right
Oh, why can't he be like us?
Tell me why?

Clean the mind off this plastic baby

You took these eyes, set them in deep
I just repeat what you said

I just repeat what you reap
You set this flesh up on these bones
what you said
I just repeat what you said

Clean off this plastic baby

I'm through with patience
I'll wait no longer
You never waited for me anyway
This thing inside me
it's growing stronger
It's going to tear
Tear until it sees the light of day

The child can't do anything right
Oh, why can't he be like us?
Tell me why?

Clean the mind off this plastic baby
Yeah
Clean the mind
Clean the mind off this plastic baby

I grow impatience
I'll wait no longer
You never waited for me anyway

This thing inside me
is growing stronger
I'ts going to tear
Tear until it sees the light of day

The child can't do anything right yeah-yeah
But why can't he be like us?
Tell me why?

Clean the mind off this plastic baby

You set these eyes deep in this face
And I just repeat what you said
I just repeat what you reap

You put this flesh up on these bones
I just repeat what you said

Make me repeat what you said
Make me repeat what you said
I just repeat what you said
The story you told still rings in my head

The young men came down
down to the river, to wash their hands of the mud
The young men came down
down to the river, to wash their hands of the blood
See all the young men come down
after the stoning, to wash their hands of the mud
To wash off the mud
To wash off the blood

Repeat what you said
Repeat what you said
Repeat what you said

The women came down
down to the lakeside, to wash their legs of the blood
See all the women come down
after the birthing, to wash their legs of the blood
I saw the women come down
down to the water, to wash their legs of the blood
The blood, The blood

You just repeat what you said
Repeat what you said
Oh, just repeat what you said
Repeat what you said
You just repeat what you said


Keep still child
I'm washing your insides away
That's a good boy
You know we love you
