Mother's Day

Hello. This song is called Mother's Day; it's about a whore I knew in Chcago. Here it goes, goes.

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

She died with a smile right under her nose

The drive-by victim of a big drug overdose

She was a whore from the ol' street corner uptown

I'm the only one who came to see 'em lower her down

I saw her last light shining

She always said go to prom and quit your whining

I must confess

I didn't know just what she meant then

One time I seen it was a marriage she ran away from

I saw the jewelry when she got her upper button undone

I linked the crime to the corner where we met

I wanted some but she said I wasn't young enough yet

I'm on another merry-go-round

And I scream but I don't make a sound

Virginia was just another person I found

We've come a long way in a sense

We've lost a lot of innocence

Don't try to keep us in a fence

We'll break through

I guess I kill a little somethin' every place I go

Boys, you can stutter but don't you ever stop that flow

And girls, you just keep on teasin' us guys with your eyes

Virginia did it every day until the day she died

Several scenes are based on IQ

I'd like to say I never liked you

But one thing I learned, don't you ever lie

You'll get burned

I know I'll see you in the future when I least expect

I know a victim of a right-turn cynical wreck

But memory is strange and it fades away

I think I love you but who is anybody to say?

It's all the shots I've taken

Somebody better bring a keg in

'Cause I think it's startin' to rain

On your wedding day

We've come a long way in a sense

We've lost us lots of innocence

Don't try to keep us in a fence

We'll break through
