Lyrics for A Baby for Pree (Live at Jittery Joe's) as interpreted by KingJelle

A Baby for Pree (Live at Jittery Joe's) Lyrics
Blistering Pree, all smiling and swollen
Makes babies to breathe with their hearts hanging open
All over the sheets as soft as beets in some brown dresser drawer
And with bees in her breath and the rest of her ringing
They'll sting through her chest with a force hard and beating
Until wonderfully wet she will get
Until she's soaked inside her clothes
And there is no sorry to be sorry for
For a roll around the floor some afternoon so sound and soft
It made her swallow all her sweat with every bit of breath she coughs
And when the day it came to pour all her babies all across the bathroom floor
She will be swimming in them all forevermore

Glow right into you, I will glow
Right into you I will glow
Right into you
And I let you down
Swollen and small is where you find me now
With that silver stripping off and my tongue you're tearing out
And you'll never hear me talk
Glow right into you, I will glow
Right into you I will glow
Right into you

And I will be strong, strong enough
To shout above your voice that's clearing of
And your face that's falling out into the dust of what you want
And I will never hear you talk

Glow right into you, I will glow
Right into you I will glow
Right into you

And with my little fingers
I could make it all crumble
I could make it all over
Before you would even know
Glow
Into you
Into you I'll glow

This would be my favorite live song by Jeff Mangum. I love how he combined Baby for Pree and Where You'll Find Me Now and improvs some words too. Simply brilliant I say.

just an odd coincidence-
whenever I listened to this version, I would hear "And when Isaiah came to pour all her babies all across the bathroom floor" instead of "the day it came to pour".

Isaiah 44:3 "For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring"
