Scars on your mother ouch

Uninitiated couch

Don’t see the evidence, yeah

Right wrapping

Those ankles tight

Your fingers in her eyes

And stick them in her ears

You push them in

Her mouth and

Slip them further south

Strapped the

Easy chair

Tricked and

Invited there

Arteries and

Airways blocked

Colour your mamma shocked

She’s standing on

Her last legs

No comfort left

In her arms

When we could lay

At her feet

We bite the feeding hand

You got scared

And it won’t go away

You left at night

And you drove until day

A spare tyre and

A weakening jack

You say sorry but

She ain’t coming back

And so human is the highway

Off to Las Vegas drive

No-one gets out of here alive

Earthquake can shake you, die

That’s where she ate you, bye
