Put Your Baby Down
Toes
Pressed against the well
Drop the bucket now
Drop your secrets and sing your song
The one of love and doubt
The one you shouted out
The day your silence won out
Nobody was ready for
The shaming hid beneath the floor
Mama put your baby down
It's time to stand up tall
And fight them all
Careful with your innocence
The hollow heart you've often missed
Everybody's waiting for the
Moment to be there
To help you break his stare
Steel
Of will and mind are you
You have your fortune, too
Spill your wine on the floor
And watch
Watch it trickle down
Meander to the ground
The way we might have been found
Through the heat of midday sun
We heard the lashing, angry tongue
Forever's such a lonely word
When all you know is now
And you can't see out
Scattered over towns and turf
Buried underneath the dirt
On your own is scary
Take a chance to let them grow
Without the things you know
No one
Was ready for
The shame that hid
Beneath your door
Mama
Put your baby down
It's time to stand up tall
We'll help you fight them all
Pressed against the well
Drop the bucket now
Drop your secrets and sing your song
The one of love and doubt
The one you shouted out
The day your silence won out
Nobody was ready for
The shaming hid beneath the floor
Mama put your baby down
It's time to stand up tall
And fight them all
Careful with your innocence
The hollow heart you've often missed
Everybody's waiting for the
Moment to be there
To help you break his stare
Steel
Of will and mind are you
You have your fortune, too
Spill your wine on the floor
And watch
Watch it trickle down
Meander to the ground
The way we might have been found
Through the heat of midday sun
We heard the lashing, angry tongue
Forever's such a lonely word
When all you know is now
And you can't see out
Scattered over towns and turf
Buried underneath the dirt
On your own is scary
Take a chance to let them grow
Without the things you know
No one
Was ready for
The shame that hid
Beneath your door
Mama
Put your baby down
It's time to stand up tall
We'll help you fight them all
