Cat Power - Coat Is Always On lyrics

Mother don't sit Mother don't stand Mother don't send me Smoking gra** go into the movie The ambulance is after you too Promise we're gonna go to New York City Sorry about the fight in front of you Angry women said 'motherf**er' on TV Sister come and lay your head on me I can see you haven't had any sleep in a long time That baby's gonna be so easy on me Never see his smile Never see his face Smoking gra** go into the movie The ambulance is after you too Promise we're gonna go to New York City Sorry about the fight in front of you Angry women said 'motherf**er' on TV Father said he was gonna give me something He gave me hate Mother don't sit Mother don't stand Mother don't send me The coat is always on Because it's always cold We always laugh when she wants to hear it A lot of times we would just starve They recognize the color of the smear Maybe I'll listen and you can read my mind I'm sorry please don't be mad Brother can't even speak He's got a tongue and two legs to walk on and he can leave Brother is old and grey Brother is old and grey Brother is old and grey And he's only He's only seventeen We recognize the color of the smear Maybe we will all listen when we are all under Maybe we will all listen when we are all under Father said he was gonna give me something He gave me hate Mother don't sit Mother don't stand Mother please don't send me Angry women said motherf**er on tv Maybe I'll listen and you can read my mind I'm sorry please don't be mad Two What happened to home What happened to home sweet What happened to home sweet Home
