[Verse 1]
Sink, a sandwich in a bag
A skinny myrtle flag
I'll never whittle to the city's biggest drag
Opportunities arise
My finances disguise
I live in moments' lips and can account for sighs
[Chorus 1]
Nobody ever told me that my fun would outrun me
It's Mother's Day and I have no money
A hug and a kiss, I'm forgiven for this somehow
[Verse 2]
Won't give myself a break throughout a stomachache
Life's brutish and short
That's how I'll eat this steak
Nothing grows again in pockets lined with salt
And if it all perplexes me
I'll see it was my fault
[Chorus 2]
My wit's end's bacon and my eggs are runny
It's Mother's Day and I have no money
A hug and a kiss, she looks past this somehow
[Bridge]
I call in sick like I won a prize, I beam with pride
Mugging myself, I wear no disguise
Spread out my winnings and cried
I have this dream where she's blind to me, white-eyed
House on Haunted Hill
I can't look you in the eye
You take care of me, and I won't know why
[Chorus 3]
I wrote a song full of jokes, all of them unfunny
It's Mother's Day and I have no money
She smiles and insists I'm forgiven for this somehow
