Mother Songtext
von Red House Painters

The way the street looked
Dim and polluted
So have I felt when I walked upon

The way the air seemed
Gray fog diluted
So do I feel when I′m breathed upon

Ominous head spoke "you ain't so good"
Poorly the sow joked
Trashed and words muttered


I want to be
Mothered
I want you to give
Attention to my belly button
Mother, I want to have
Bobby pins stuck in my ear

And drown away the endless days
Ridding soon the troubled ways

Embedded down with a warm frown
In a wrong and impure dream

Anchored down with a mermaid
In sound halcyon sea

Lure me in her salt
Liquid canyon far beneath

My mother savior
With her goddess touch
Brushes hands through my hair
