Mama's Trippin'
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
an you tell me why
you're so uptight
out of your head
and ain't talkin' right
Can you tell me why
your mind ain't straight
out of touch
and can't relate
Mama's trippin'
daddy's slippin'
Everybody's talkin' 'bout
keepin' it together
but I see people splittin'
when there's inclement weather
What you want is what I want
so why can't we agree
if I could be inside of you
maybe I could see why
Mama's trippin'
daddy's slippin'
You and I ain't spoken
ain't spoken for a week
soon there won't be nothin'
nothin' left to speak
Things ain't the same
since you've gone insane
let's take some time
and ease the strain
Mama's trippin'
daddy's slippin'
