Mother Mom Said

(Don't Be Scared)

 

I had a reason

I had an excuse

My heart was bleeding

My head was in the noose

 

What did mother mom say?

What did mother mom say?

What did mother mom say?

What did mother mom say?

 

Mother mom said,

Mother mom said,

Mother mom said,

Mother mom said,

“Don’t go!”

Mother mom said

 

My arms were shaking

Like a chicken wing (coo)

I had it all spelled out for me

In my alphabet soup

And those soup cans and pop bottles

Dancing in the nude

 

And the nervous radio played forgotten songs

That only an orphan could remember

Then everything fell apart

Then everything came together

And there were shoe laces there a million miles long

And I was gone

 

What did mother mom say?

What did mother mom say?

What did mother mom say?

What did mother mom say?

 

Mother mom said,

Mother mom said,

Mother mom said,

Mother mom said,

“Don’t go!

Please don’t go!”

 

My bank account just fell through

Elma says it happened to her son

And now I’m hitting the road

Elma says it happened to her son

 

Elma says,

Elma says,

Elma says,

Elma told my mom

 

Elma told my mom

Elma told my mom

Elma told my mom

Elma told my mom

“Don’t go!

Please don’t go!

Please don’t go!

Please don’t go!”
