"Milk" lyrics

Yellow light bulb, incandescent
Caught in nightgown, soft and fragrant
Don't put me down
In the bathtub after dinner
Swaddle me for twenty minutes
Don't put me down

You turn the lights out
I'm all alone now
My thumb in my mouth

Oh, I need your love
Take me in your arms, an eternal embrace
I will be your kind, I swear this time
I won't push you away
Is it all dried up? Unconditional love?
Can I taste it again? I need milk

Underneath the kitchen table
Pick me up and make a cradle
Don't put me down
You don't like the way I'm growing
Lock the doors that used to open
Don't put me down

I throw my key out
I'm all alone now
Can I sleep in your house?

Oh, I need your love
Take me in your arms, an eternal embrace
I will be your kind, I swear this time
I won't push you away
Is it all dried up? Unconditional love?
Can I taste it again? I need milk
Oh, I need your love
Take me in your arms, an eternal embrace
I will be your kind, I swear this time
I won't push you away
Is it all dried up? Unconditional love?
Can I taste it again? I need milk

I don't know if I've been missing something that never existed
Don't put me down
Let me backen from the wild, I can be your golden child
Don't put me down
