Mother,
mother,
can you hear me?
I'm just calling to say hello.
How's the weather?
How's my father?
Am I lonely?
Heavens no.
Mother, mother,
are you listening?
Just a phone call to ease your mind.
Life is perfect,
never better.
Distance making the heart grow blind.
When you sent me off to see the world.
Were you scared that I might get hurt?
Would I try a little tobacco?
Would 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 today.
Everything's fine.
I'm working,
making money.
I'm just starting to build a name.
I can feel it around the corner.
I can make it any day.
Mother, mother,
can you hear me?
Yeah,
I'm sober.
Sure, I'm sane.
Life is perfect,
never better.
Still your daughter,
still the same.
If I tell you what you wanna hear,
will it help you to sleep well at night?
Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear?
Now 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 today.
Everything's fine.
I miss you, I love you.
