I brushed my hair and tripped down the stairs
into another Monday - what would my mother say?
I heard the door slam a thousand times
and you left me - but I know
“its a family thing”
she said it one time
she said it two times
then she stopped eating and started drinking
we always hear the blues in my mother’s house
“if you love me keep yourself clean
stop knocking around with every guy town”
she said it one time
she said it two times then she stopped eating and started drinking
we always hear the blues in my mother’s house
I heard the door slam and then she left me
but it’s just a family thing

Back down boy, you’re breaking my bones
Loving so forcefully, forgetting it was me
White baby, you better turn your stereo down
Too much is too much for me - just a kiss won’t do for you
Hold on now, its political
We just bounce off one another
“Tell me about me, let’s forget about you”
Passion in life just doesn’t include
Passion for life or others besides you
I think you love before you think
Turn down the noise, go back to bed
Use your newspaper to clean your windows with
And after all the fires
and all the bloodshed
You haven’t come very far
You haven’t had your own war yet
Ok - so it felt good and God smiled
And the world turned green
I’ll have another beer and some news on TV
You can call it love but the word lacks a lot
Back down boy, you’re breaking my bones
Loving so forcefully, forgetting it was me
White baby, you better turn your stereo down
Too much is too much for me - just a kiss won’t do for you

Spent too much on polyester and chocolate
Chocolate always bitter sweet
She knew God had to hate her and that He couldn’t hate
She felt He couldn’t love her, God had to hate to hate
She sang for change but the chorus remained
Tears for him, tears for her
A mascara face and pillowcase
The mirror always holds the demon grief
Talk to Him when you can,
Much too old to exorcise her Demons
Cause Demons will grow with time (like trees)
To live a long life on Church Street
