Oedipus Wrecks

On the night we met, the ink sank in, we bled
Then you held me to the bed and told me your name
I said look right at me, tell me the truth, are you just 18?
You said "baby do you want me to be?"
And I said okay, okay

You said "I'm a child of Jesus and I won't change
And I know just how to please you now baby, yeah"

In your holy face, I found my own patented escape
Then you saved me from the place where I went to pray
But now your edifice turns to gray,
You fall like Icarus toward the grave
You crack your teeth, they rot away, and I'm here unscathed

And I'm your mother again, what a waste
But there's no other way I could play
You're a landmine laying on a loaded base

I had this bright idea that the only little thing I fear
Was you leaving here giving me nothing that I could take
But I'm alive again since the devil he got back in
Now I'm swimming in what I win and just what I've made

But I'm your sister again, what a shame
I'm rapping your knuckles, I'm cracking your hands
Til they break, and you stay afraid

"The after-effects of a mother's neglects
May spoil her boy's orientation to sex
But the reverse is worse, if she overprotects
The pattern of Oedipus wrecks"
