Let's Go Crazy/Horse In a Smelter

In the tundra it never rains
Inuit, Inuit, Inuit pain
Seal blood, seal blood, permanent stain
All we lost and never gained
Come on, baby, don't give me no shelter
You can just call me the horse in the smelter

My eyelids burnin' off my head
It helps improve the view
I know a hundred words for snow
But only one for you
In this hellish heat I swelter
Just call me the horse in the smelter

I was so blind when it began
Those six-month nights while we ate blubber
She sold her pelt to a dirty white man
Now when I see her, I want to club her
Like a pup when I first felt her
Just call me the horse in the smelter

Listening to my Throbbing Gristle
Tryin' to keep a smiling face
If I don't whimper, only whistle
Maybe I can leave this place
Since you've gone, things ain't the same‹
My skin is raw, my life is pain
