Verse 1
I read the newspaper at the hairdresser's
Two whole pages on Emina Jahović*
She says she's a wolf, has a shaman, oh
She thought she was a sparrow, but she's a wolf, or so the shaman claims
The shaman is a friend of Gwyneth Paltrow, oh
How interesting.
Chorus
F*** it, I don’t have a shaman*
And what am I? I don’t have a shaman
F*** it, I don’t have a shaman
And what am I? I don’t have a shaman
Verse 2
Maybe I'm a bird
New York, London, Berlin, Paris*
I shit on people, I shit on things*
We know it's lucky when a bird poops on you
I am a bird
I bring luck, I am a bird
Verse 3
Maybe I'm a dog
Listen to how I bark, dog
People buy me, they lead me
They chip me, sterilize me, brush my teeth
I must be a dog
I'm the best friend in the neighborhood, I'm a dog
Verse 4
Maybe I'm a bear, lean on me now
Trust me with everything, trust me with everything
Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me
I’m stable like a bear
Lean on me
While we dream our winter dream
Chorus
And what am I? I don’t have a shaman
F*** it, I don’t have a shaman
And what am I? I don’t have a shaman
F*** it, I don’t have a shaman
And what am I? I don’t have a shaman
F*** it, I don’t have a shaman
And what am I? I don’t have a shaman
F*** it
Outro
Somewhere deep in the heart, deep
Bridge
F*** it
Verse 5
I could be a pig
I really, really love money
I could be a tiger
I like how I jump
I could be a bison
A fossil, a reptile, that kind of style
A crocodile from the Nile River
But still, I think I’m Jupiter

Who Needs a Shaman?
Konstrakta’s Wild Animal Kingdom of Self-Discovery
In Neam Šamana, Konstrakta takes us on a playful, animal-filled quest for identity, sparked by reading about Emina Jahović calling herself a “wolf” (with a shaman’s approval, of course). Konstrakta, lacking a shaman, playfully wonders, “What am I?”
Left to her own devices, she tries on identities from across the animal kingdom. Is she a bird or, perhaps, a bear? And perhaps a pig? She even imagines herself as Jupiter, the largest of them all! Yet, she keeps coming back to her question: “But what am I?”

New York, London, Berlin, Paris – a bird with quite the frequent flyer miles! Maybe next stop: your neighborhood? 😀😝

It is a common believe in Serbia that if a bird poops on you, it brings luck. So… how bad do you need some luck?

Is she Jupiter?
With a pull like that, we’re all just happy to be in her orbit! 😦
