I Got No Strings - Jenny Hval

What is a woman?

I guess I burn

I dreamt I was a real boy

I got no strings

I don’t know why

It helps (?)

You feel it does

I take it in your mouth

I place it on my tongue and whirl it around

I make new words, words that I can use

Alternative strategies (?)

Gimme

The (?) echoes out

All ecstasy I want to be

All there is to a fire

What do you mean you don’t understand?

What do you mean you don’t understand?

What… do… you… mean… you don’t understand?

But do you understand

Fire, fire, do you understand fire, fire

What is a woman?

Fire walk with me

Dreamt that I was a real boy

I got no strings

Walk with the flagrant

Between my teeth

It was a beautiful song

To them everything

I got no strings
