Mother's Getting Weaker Lyrics - Them - King Diamond

Tonight would be 

The last night that we had our tea 

That bloody tea 

Which sent us into ecstasy 

Yesterday mother complained 

Feelin' dizzy, all in pain 

Mother's gettin' weaker 

Looking paler day by day 

As morning came 

She could not make it out of bed 

And grandma's spell 

Was gettin' straight into her head 

Not a single word 

She didn't seem to be alive 

Getting weaker 

Looking paler day by day 

Then Missy came in and 

She led me by the hand 

I didn't want to go 

Oh but I should have known 

Mother was barely conscious 

Why should I care? 

Just lookin' forward 

To the next ordeal 

I think I heard 

My sister begging me to stay 

She gave me the phone 

So I could call someone for help 

I simply let go of her hand 

Then I cut the wire 

Missy was cryin' 

As I left them both behind 

And mother's getting weaker 

Missy shouted at my back 

"I hate you"
