Lyrics for Earlier Than Expected

Sacred pictures With which she will fortell the future Expert witness A wound that won't believe in sutures (Chorus) ('Cause) She's earlier than expected A little premature madonna Earlier than expected Rush right home now Prepare, prevent, defend, define now With no examples You'll find the burdens more than ample (Chorus) And if you saw her trails Would you consider her guilty of being a child? Open mouth-faced She saw Ulysess, claimed him captive The vanquished embraced He knew for this to be receptive And hust have grace and be festive Of freeze in the dirt which he rests in (Chorus x 2) And she will sleep and rest her brow And face the tempest of tomorrow
