Birth Ritual (Studio Outtake)

Birth Ritual (Studio Outtake) - Soundgarden

Written by：Chris Cornell/Matt Cameron/Kim A. Thayil

Lying like needles

On forest earth

Euphoric rush

Trees bend to pray for us

I'm sputtering

Like cold machines

Late for the birth ritual ritual ritual ritual

You can drive my tail

To watch the circus

A birth ritual

A birth of idiots

Now I woke up blessed

And good strives for heartache

Now marked for the death ritual ritual ritual

As you start the song

And face this garden

I light a cigarette before the execution

Now you see your crime

For every miracle

Add another ** at every birth ritual

I took the **

To make me stay

And now everything

Dies in shyness

The snake retreats

Admits defeat

And waits for the birth ritual ritual ritual

As you start the song

And face this garden

I light a cigarette before the execution

Now you see your crime

For every miracle

Add another ** at every birth ritual

Shining light

Child's highs

Mark his sides

Bright until the newness wears off

As you start the song

And face this garden

I light a cigarette before the execution

Now you see your crime

For every miracle

Add another ** at every birth ritual
