Momma Lyrics

Thank God for the zoo

It taught me everything I knew

About staying wild inside of a snow globe

Open up the cage doors, put your kids in

That's the only place for them, huh?

Momma, protect my feeling

I'm still a child and it's late in the evening

Can you remember when the night was easier

Momma, shotguns rising

What could we know about the love that's hiding

I watch the world coming alive and dying

At the same damn time

Something wild inside us

Thank God for the zoo

It taught me everything I knew

About staying wild inside of a snow globe

Open up the cage doors, put yourself in

That's the only place for ya, huh?

But you don't care for me no more

And heavy lines been drawn down that door

Momma, project my feeling

Upon the needles of the evergreen ceiling

I'm either free or weak and seeking ya

Momma, what's that feeling?

I'll come along if you can feed me reasons

Reasons fall to pieces in the low light leaving you

Momma, I still need you

The mask I made for myself seems see-through

When I'm alone in my head I see you
