Lazarus Your Mother lyrics

Your mother
She offers me booze from the cupboard
And I swear to god that I love her
She's neat, she's clean and she's gone

But your Father
I swear he sees straight through me
Only man who ever knew me
And he'd ring my neck if he saw

*Cause I'm sinking I'm foolish I'm young and I'm restless
I'm a user, abuser, who can't make up his mind
So lets jump the fence and get high
Lets jump the fence and get
High by ourselves
Sew the patchworks on our quilts
And I swear the confusion was better than this

We had good intentions til we chose to sin*

But all that I want is you
And you aint got much time to choose 'tween your mother and me

Your Mother
Since the day she gave birth to your brother
She's been a little stronger than others
But what the hell's going on

**

But all those who wonder aint lost
and all things that glitter aint gold
