Mother, Mother Lyrics - The Burdens Of Being Upright - Tracy Bonham

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 know 

Mother mother are ya listening? 

Just a phone call to ease your mind 

Life is perfect, never better 

Distance making the heart grow fond 

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
