eels - jungle telegraph lyrics

mama had an epidural
hoping i would be a girl
the night was black, the sky was booming
the darker clouds were surely looming
i heard screaming, the doctor shouts
and baby, then
i came out

and here i am

found my way, down the street
chicken hawks, favorite meat
the man was big, the gun was loaded
he had cash, but never showed it
i heard screamin', bleeding throat
and baby i got on that boat

and here i am

now i'm up here in the trees
shaking off the bugs and fleas
the days are long, the sun is beatin'
each day i don't die is cheating

send me some lovin'
send me some lovin'
send it now

send it by giraffe
or jungle telegraph
send it by giraffe
or jungle telegraph
or jungle telegraph
jungle telegraph
