Mother, mother, how's the family?
I'm just callin' to say hello
How's the weather? How's my father?
Am I lonely? Heavens know
Mother, mother, are you listenin'?
Just a phone call to ease your mind
Life is perfect, never better
Distance makin' the heart grow fond
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 hikin' up my skirt?
I'm hungry, I'm dirty
I'm losin' my mind, everything's fine!
I'm freezin', I'm starvin'
I'm bleedin' to death, everything's fine!
Yeah, I'm workin', makin' money
I'm just startin' to build a name
I can feel it around the corner
I could make it any day
Mother, mother, can you hear me?
Sure 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 losin' my mind, everything's fine!
I'm freezin', I'm starvin'
I'm bleedin' to death, everything's fine!
I miss you, I love you
