Mother

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 favourite 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

Mother

Mother, the car is here
Here, here
Maybe, maybe you'll leave the light on
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, 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
