"Mother Mother" Lyrics

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,
Were you scared 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.
