Mother Tongue Lyrics - White Lies

The city stays high, all night 

Lit up and shivering 

Like a pinball table of fireflies 

An echo of home, on the edge of life 

Shot through the veins of an angel 

I'm a devil in exile 

But if you have forgotten 

Your precious mother tongue 

What do you think your mother 

Would say of what you've done? 

And if you can't remember the place 

You call a home, or having trouble placing 

Who's calling on the phone...

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Dip the nose of the car to the sugar lines 

Out to the desert 

Under cinnamon hills and moonshine 

He said 'what can I do to make you mine?' 

Kiss out the twang from my lips 

On the way to big-time 

But if you have forgotten 

Your precious mother tongue 

What do you think your mother 

Would say of what you've done? 

And if you can't remember the place 

You call a home, or having trouble placing 

Who's calling on the phone 

Who's calling on the phone... 

Forgot your mother tongue 

Forgot your mother tongue 

Forgot your mother tongue 

Forgot your mother tongue 

But if you have forgotten 

Your precious mother tongue 

What do you think your mother 

Would say of what you've done? 

And if you can't remember the place 

You call a home, or having trouble placing 

Who's calling on the phone 

But if you have forgotten 

Your precious mother tongue 

What do you think your mother 

Would say of what you've done? 

And if you can't remember the place 

You call a home, or having trouble placing 

Who's calling on the phone
