Mother mother how's the family,
I'm just calling to say hello
How's the weather how's my father
am I lonely heavens no
Mother mother are you listening,
Just a phone call to ease your mind
Life is perfect never better, distance making the heart grow blind
When you sent me off to see the world,
where you cared that I might get hurt
Would I try a little tobacco,
would I keep on hiking up my skirt
I'm hungry I'm dirty
I'm losing my mind
Everything's fine
I'm freezing I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death
Everything's fine Yeah,
I'm working, making money
I'm just starting to build a name
I can feel it around the corner,
I could make it any day

Mother mother can you hear me,

sure I'm sober sure I'm sane
Life is perfect never better, still your daughter
still the same
If I tell you what you want to hear, will it help you
to sleep well at night
Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear,
now just cuddle up and sleep tight
I'm hungry I'm dirty
I'm losing my mind
Everything's fine
I'm freezing I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death
Everything's fine
I miss you I love you

She'll suck the living down to size three
She'll suck the living and she'll kill me
Necks are crooked and it's time to sing
Her beak is wide open at the sound of wings
Oh ay

She kisses harder than me
She kisses harder than me
I guess I'm not that hungry

Veins are rivers flowing to the sea
Fish will eat it, but don't ask me
Angels looking make it hard to cry
People looking make it cool to die
Oh ay

She kisses harder than me
She kisses harder than me
I guess I'm not that hungry
She kisses harder than me
She kisses harder than me
I guess I'm not that hungry

I sleep the day away giving you all I can
Ready to reach new lows dying to wash my hand

You're the one that froze the sun
Say you love me as you pull the trigger
Better today rather than tomorrow

Heaven is in the air hiding behind your blinds
Heaven is right out there leaving me here behind

Say you love me as you pull the trigger
Better today rather than tomorrow

You should enjoy the weather
Soon you'll burn with what you've done...

Whether It's the sunshine whether It's the rain doesn't make a difference 'tll you complain whether It's the water coming in from the roof does it piss you off that you're not water proof whether you fall means nothing at all It's whether you get up it's whether you get up and you hate the silence as it fills up the room and there's not much to say to your blushing groom maybe all eyes are on you as you finish the race and the world sees you struggling for last place whether you fall means nothing at all It's whether you get up whether you get up
