Devendra Banhart - Long Haired Child

Midwinter's day, it's cold, and I know for certain
When I go outside and my head started hurtin'
It's a winter's day and I know for certain
When I go outside my head'll start hurtin'
So I'll wrap it up in materials to
Keep my hair from getting cold
I'll wrap it up in materials to
Keep my hair from getting cold

And I said tell my friends when I have kids
Yeah I said tell my friends when I have kids

I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child
I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child
I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child
I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child

I go outside to mingle in the snow
My head look like a globe
Ain't no hair on it at all
Do I buy a wig
Should I grow my beard
And comb it upwards
And around my ears
Well I can't wait for the kids to come
No, I can't wait for the kids to come
Say hey babe you're goin' know no barbershop
Cause I want yeah I want I know for certain

I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child
I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child
I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child
I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child
That's for sure, yeah, baby, that's for sure

When the snow it hits my temple
I wanna rush home
Put on the kettle now
And warm my little brain
And bald head
I'm too cold to know if I'm alive or dead

But when my baby slips out my mama's womb
When my baby slips out my mama's womb
We're gonna enter a new life
Enter a new life, that's for sure
You're gonna enter your self back through your baby's front door
Now if you want that child to be a long-haired child
You're gonna make that baby be a long-haired child that's for sure
Baby, baby, that's for sure
Shoobop, shoobop
