donkey kosh

with a donkey on my shoulder

and a jackal on my back

i'll carry these

my children

keep them safe from attack

the donkey makes it hard to dance

the jackal sings too loud

the donkey cries when it's alone

and the jackal is too proud

little donkey is getting restless

getting heavier as it grows

and the jackal

spoiled and spiteful

keeps biting at my nose

i would have a lover

a husband

and a child

but the donkey is too jealous

and the jackal is too wild

it's too wild

you ask me why i keep them

why i love them so

why they get away with murder

as they grow and grow and grow

oh

i keep them cos i made them

they come from in my loins

with each mistake i make

creative

and torn apart

and when it's time to feed them

before they go to bed

i give them my confessions

baked within their bread

little donkey is getting restless

getting heavier as it grows

and the jackal

spoiled and spiteful

keeps biting at my nose

little donkey is getting restless

getting heavier as it grows

and the jackal

spoiled and spiteful

keeps biting at my nose
