Red House Painters - Mother lyrics

[Verse 1] The way the street looked: Dim and polluted So have I felt when I walked upon The way the air seemed: Gray fog diluted So do I feel when I'm breathed upon Ominous head spoke you ain't so good Poorly the sow joked Trashed and words muttered [Hook] I want to be mothered I want you to give Attention to my belly bu*ton Mother I want to have Bobby pins stuck in my ears [Verse 2] And drown away the endless days Ridding soon the troubled ways Embedded down with a warm frown In a wrong and impure dream Anchored down with a mermaid In sound halcyon sea Lure me in her salt Liquid canyon far beneath My mother savior With her goddess touch Brushes hands through my hair
