Ezra Furman and the Harpoons

Mother's Day
Hello. This song is called Mother's Day; it's about a whore I knew in Chcago. Here it goes, goes. 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4 She died with a smile right under her nose The drive-by victim of a big drug overdose She was a whore from the ol' street corner uptown I'm the only one who came to see 'em lower her down I saw her last light shining She always said go to prom and quit your whining I must confess I didn't know just what she meant then One time I seen it was a marriage she ran away from I saw the jewelry when she got her upper button undone I linked the crime to the corner where we met I wanted some but she said I wasn't young enough yet I'm on another merry-go-round And I scream but I don't make a sound Virginia was just another person I found We've come a long way in a sense We've lost a lot of innocence Don't try to keep us in a fence Letras de cancionesWe'll break through I guess I kill a little somethin' every place I go Boys, you can stutter but don't you ever stop that flow And girls, you just keep on teasin' us guys with your eyes Virginia did it every day until the day she died Several scenes are based on IQ I'd like to say I never liked you But one thing I learned, don't you ever lie You'll get burned I know I'll see you in the future when I least expect I know a victim of a right-turn cynical wreck But memory is strange and it fades away I think I love you but who is anybody to say? It's all the shots I've taken Somebody better bring a keg in 'Cause I think it's startin' to rain On your wedding day We've come a long way in a sense We've lost us lots of innocence Don't try to keep us in a fence We'll break through From Letras Mania
