My Mother the War
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse 1] She bloodies the pavement Flanks avenues Parades pass, white glove attended by my mother the war She'll raise a shaft, lift a banner, toss a rose [Chorus] Mother the war Mother the war Mother the war Mother the war [Verse 2:] She knows every neighbor Chats at their doors Compare Econo-size electric appliances Mother the war Come share tea And a seat by my Cradle with [Chorus] Mother the war Mother the war Mother the war Mother the war [Verse 3] Forsaken vigil Three years each tour Hands of god enfold him Prayed mother the war Haunt a doorway Beg a postman Is there word [Chorus] For mother the war My mother the war Mother [Verse 4:] 5 black stars In bitter defiance She's spiting the corps Wet a brood Short league for combat Mother the war Well acquainted With sorrow With grief [Chorus] Mother the war Mother the war [Verse 5:] Folded lace Carrion Blood soaked robes Folded lace Carrion Blood soaked Shroud [Chorus] My mother the war My mother Mother Mother Mommy
