Lyrics
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.
Go, go, go, go now
Out of the nest it's time
Go, go, go now
Circus girl without a safety net
Here here now don't cry
You raised your hand for the assignment
Tuck those ribbons under your helmet
Be a good soldier
First my left foot then my right, behind the other
Pantyhose running in the cold
Mother, the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Green limousine for the redhead dancing dancing girl
And when I dance for him
Somebody leave the light on
Just in, just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come from
I walked into your dream
And now I've forgotten how to dream my own dream
You are the clever one aren't you
Brides in veils for you
We told you all of our secrets
All but one, and don't you even try
The phone has been disconnected
Dripping with blood and with time and with your advice
Poison me against the Moon
Mother the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Black chariot for the redhead dancing dancing girl
He's gonna change my name
Maybe you'll leave the light on
Just in just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come from
I escape into your escape into
Our very favorite fearscape
It's across the sky and across my heart and I
Crossed my legs oh my God
First my left foot then my right behind the other
Breadcrumbs lost under the snow
Ooh, oh, mother
Ooh, mother the car is here
Maybe you'll leave the light on
For the for the for the dancing girl
He's gonna change my name
Maybe you'll leave the light
Just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come come from
Mother, mother, mother
