Oh My My

EVERYTHING YOU SAY

EVERYTHING YOU DO

WILL COME BACK

TO STAND WITH YOU

EVERYTHING YOU TRUST

EVERYTHING YOU FEEL

WILL COME BACK

TO KNEEL WITH YOU

EVERYTHING YOU SAY

EVERYTHING YOU TRY

WILL COME OUT

SOUNDING LIKE A LIE

EVERYTHING YOU TRUST

EVERYTHING YOU KNOW

WILL TURN TO DUST

WILL BLOW

AWAY

...Oh My My...

I'm cracking

I'm cracking

cracking

I'm cracking into a thousand pieces

OPEN UP YOUR EYES

mama mama please come quick

something's wrong I'm feeling sick

mama mama I'm in a mess

I can't lose this heaviness

oh my...oh my my my...oh my Mother

mary had a little lamb

little lamb

little lamb

mary had a little lamb

its fleece was...oh...

mama mama

I searched these hills for my sweet lamb

I carried myself up the mountain

And 5 men came out

And I laid myself down

And I looked around

And I couldn't find my sweet lamb

I'm looking for my Bottom Line

And as soon as I find it

I'm gonna turn my life around

oh my...oh my my my...oh my Mother

oh my...oh my my my...oh my Brother

YOU'RE FLOATING IN A HARBOUR

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

AND YOU'RE LOOKING ALL AROUND YOU

AND YOU CAN'T SEE ANY LIGHT

AND THE BLACK AND STARLESS HEAVENS

WEIGH DOWN UPON YOUR SOUL

AND YOU FACE THE OPEN SEA

AND YOU'RE NOT SURE THAT YOU WANNA GO

AND YOU SCAN THE HORIZON

BUT THE ONLY LIGHT YOU FIND

IS IN THE PLACE YOU CAME FROM

THE PLACE YOU LEFT BEHIND

OH SO YOU'RE MOVING OUT

MOVING OUT

MOVING OUT

CUTTING THE CORDS

YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING

AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MAPS

AND THE ONLY THING YOU'RE SURE OF

IS YOU AIN'T...GOING...BACK

1. YOU WILL BE BORN INTO A STRANGE AND DESOLATE PLACE.

2. IT WILL BE CALLED "THE AVERAGE HOME."

3. THE TIMES WILL BE RESTLESS AND FULL OF UNCERTAINTY.

4. YOU WILL SILENTLY QUESTION THIS OF YOUR MOTHER AS YOU WATCH HER MOVE AWAY.

mama mama

please come quick

take me home from school

I feel so sick

mama mama

something's wrong

my heart is breaking

but I don't know why

oh my...oh my my my...oh my Mother

oh my...oh my my my...oh my Brother

5. THERE WILL BE NO ANSWER.

6. YOU WILL BEGIN THE LONG PROCESS OF SHUTTING DOWN.

7. YOUR COUNTENANCE WILL REFLECT LESS LIGHT AND LATER WHEN YOU LOOK

AT PICTURES OF YOURSELF YOU WILL WONDER.

8. YOU WILL GIVE UP YOUR BACKBONE TO THE T.V. AND ACCEPT A VALUE SYSTEM

9. PUTTING FORTH LIES, HATRED AND INTOLERANCE IN THE NAME OF LOVE AS ACCEPTABLE.

10. NO ONE WILL STEP FORWARD FROM THE SHADOWS SAYING: "EXPECT THIS, IT IS PART OF THE PATH."

11. YOU WILL DISCOVER DRUGS AND ALCOHOL.

12. YOU WILL INSTINCTIVELY MOVE TOWARDS YOUR OWN BOTTOM LINE.

mama mama please come quick

hold my head I feel so sick

mama mama let me come home

wrap me up I can't get warm

oh my...oh my my my...oh my Mother

oh my...oh my my my...oh my Brother

13. YOU WILL RUSH HEADLONG TOWARDS YOUR BOTTOM LINE IN AN INSTINCTIVE ATTEMPT TO HEAL.

14. YOU WILL GO TO AA TO LEARN WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED IN SUNDAY SCHOOL.

15. AND THEN YOU WILL GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO CRY. AND YOU WILL CRY AND CRY AND CRY.

16. AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL MOVE AWAY NERVOUSLY AND YOU'LL FEEL LIKE A FOOL.

17. AND NO ONE WILL STEP FORWARD FROM THE SHADOWS SAYING

18. "THE JOURNEY FORWARD INCLUDES MOVEMENT INTO DESPAIR."

19. AND YOU WILL BE GATHERING STRENGTH

20. EVEN AS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

21. AND CERTAIN WORDS LIKE LOVE AND...

22. INTEGRITY WILL BE DRAWN INTO YOUR SPINE.

23. AND THEN ONE DAY...

24. YOU WILL TURN OFF THE T.V.

mama mama something's wrong

there's only silence where there once was song

I keep hearing all these bells

am I healing or dying? I can't tell.

hey ho

sail on out

sail all night

sail on with all your might

land ahead

land ho

land ho

land ho

I sure miss that little lamb

that little lamb called Puff

or...was it...Poof? or...

well, anyways, I sure miss that sweet lamb

lay down upon your pillow...

just live all you can knowing that's all

you have to give

mama mama I almost did it

I almost carried myself up the mountainside

In my own arms

And laid myself down

there a New Strength nearby, I know

And as soon as I find my Bottom Line

I'm gonna turn my life around

I sure miss that little lamb...

here I go
