The Felice Brothers Chicken Wire lyrics

Very soon I will be in the deep blue sea
Wrapped in chicken wire by my own device

The navy'll come, the sharks will bite
It will be so hard to fight
Wrapped in chicken wire by my own device

Oh mama, don't go
Don't leave me alone, Lord

Wall to wall, the carpet crawls
Up the stairs and down the hall
To the invalid, in his dying bed

Upon the floor, the guests will step
And everyone will leave except
The invalid in his dying bed


Oh mama, don't go
Don't leave him alone

The maid'll call the ambulance
As the children dance to Billie Jean
By the neighbor's fence

The medics'll come, haul him away
And as they leave, they'll sweetly say
I'm sorry, man, but it's for the best

Oh mama, don't go
Don't leave me alone
