Mother motherCan you hear meI'm just calling to say hello How's the weatherHow's my fatherAm I lonely heavens no Mother motherAre you listeningJust a phone call to ease your mind Life is perfectNever betterDistance making the heart grow blind When you sent me off to see the worldWere you scared that I might get hurt Would I try a little tobaccoWould I keep on hiking up my skirt I'm hungry I'm dirty I'm losing my mind Everything's fine I'm freezing I'm starving I'm bleeding to death Everything's fine Yeah, I'm workingMaking moneyI'm just starting to build a name I can feel itAround the cornerI could make it any dayMother motherCan you hear meYeah I'm sober sure I'm sane Life is perfectNever betterStill your daughter still the same If I tell you what you want to hearWill it help you to sleep well at night Are you sure that I'm your perfect dearNow just cuddle up and sleep tight I'm hungry I'm dirty I'm losing my mind Everything's fine I'm freezing I'm starving I'm bleeding to death Everything's fine I miss you I love you
