Mother Lyrics

Mother please understand

Sometimes I go a little mad

I didn't mean to be a bad son

I didn't want to hurt anyone

I don't know why they buried you

You're not dead, just a little blue

I'll keep you alive and all to myself

Just like the birds up on my shelf

You've always been a boy's best friend

I'll keep you safe until the end

I know you wouldn't hurt a fly

But sometimes a fly has to die

Oh Mother, you taught me so well

You know all my secrets, but you'll never tell

Mother I hear you calling my name

You'll always be with me, we're one and the same

I'd kill for you like you've killed for me

It's us against the world, that's plain to see
