Mother Mother O My Heart lyrics

Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water
Oh my heart, it's a fish on the rocks
and it bakes in the bad sun

Oh my heart, it's a rock in the gutter
Oh my heart, it's a rock and great boulder and stuck in the gutter

And I throw my heart back to the ocean
But it don't go far, it come back floating
And I watch it wash it up with the dead fish

But it ain't quite dead, it just is like this

Oh my heart, it's a house in tornado,
Oh my heart, it's a house in the sky in the eye of tornado
Oh my heart, it's a roof in El nino
Oh my heart, it's a roof made of straw in the jaw of El nino

And I pour my heart a new foundation
But it don't set hard, it just stays shaking
And I scratch my name, I scratch my name in

But it don't set hard, it gets mixed back in

Bam bam bam, bam bam bam, bam bam bam, bam...

Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water
Oh my heart, it's a rock in the gutter

Oh my heart, it's the black in a rainbow
Oh my heart, it's so damn so cold, so damn cold

And I throw my heart into the fire
'Cos I want to set my heart on fire
And I watch it try befriending embers
But the ice don't melt in mid-December

Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water
Oh my heart, it's a fish on the rocks
and it bakes in the bad sun
