|
She'll wake you in the morning
|
As she fills your head at night
|
She'll drop by, without warning
|
Just when you thought you were doing all right
|
|
You think she's far away in California
|
But she has never been so near
|
|
Mother fear
|
|
She was there the day you turned your cheek
|
She led you from the fight
|
She was in your throat, when you couldn't speak
|
She sings harmony tonight
|
She knew just were you lived
|
She brought the sedatives
|
She brought the whiskey and the beer
|
|
Mother fear, Mother fear, Mother fear
|
|
That peaceful feeling's so deceiving
|
You check the kids to see they're breathing
|
|
And as you watch your house come tumbling down
|
She stands beside you in the rubble
|
She'll be the first to recognize the sound
|
Of the bursting of the bubble
|
|
And as you prance and pose
|
In your new emperor's clothes
|
She'll get the crowd to laugh and cheer
|
And here she comes
|
|
Mother fear, Mother fear
|
Year after year after year
|
