Mother
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.
In the patent leather life
I was foolish you were right
All night rookies past the time
Looking for some other way
Shiny boots all up their thighs
Chorus:
Mother in the night
Calling you calling you
Mother in the night
Where are you where are you now
Mother's left the building
We're the missing children
Mother in the night
Where are you where are you tonight
Mother may i stay all night
Lift your curfew like the light
Collars turned against the cold
I'm looking for someone to hold
In the patent leather night
Chorus:
Mother in the night
Calling you calling you
Mother in the night
Where are you where are you now
Mother's left the building
We're the missing children
Mother in the night
Where are you where are you...
Now that i can't remember
Now that i need you more than ever
Why can't we be together always
Chorus:
Mother in the night
Mother in the night
Mother's left the building
We're the missing children
Mother in the night
Where are you where are you tonight
Mother in the night
Calling you calling you
Mother in the night
Where are you where are you now
