Watch this picture blow, it makes you wonder
Bless this broken low, it takes time to explain to you
That underneath your skin is mother dear
And if you paint your face again you'll disappear
How you're gonna feel if Superman and Sonic Youth are fairy tales?
It's time to face the truth
You'll throw your life away as a woman dressed as Baby Jane
Like a phantom of the American mother and it's here again
And it's here like a phantom of the American mother
All that you're concealing are the things that are good in you
And you do and you're still abandoning the news
Now there's a sinking look in your eyes like black holes in the sky
And every time you moved I realized, everything in you was hypnotized
How you're gonna feel if Superman and Sonic Youth are fairy tales?
It's time to face the truth
You walked the hall of fame, a woman dressed as Baby Jane
Like a phantom of the American mother, it's here again
And it's here again like a phantom of the American mother
So here it is, you needed proof, there's no rock 'n' roll parade for you
It's time to face the truth like a phantom of the American mother
It's here again like a phantom of the American mother
