Mother Lyrics
She wears flowers around her neck
She cooks that egg so perfect
To eat it warm
To eat it warm, warm
And you sleep under her arm
Where spells fly
To the high white noise

To eat him warm
To eat him warm, warm
And you sleep under her arm
Where the spells fly
To the high white noise

And eat it warm
And eat it warm, warm
And you sleep under her arm
Where the spells fly
To the high white noise
To the highway dime
