Lyrics

[ANGEL, spoken] Oh I've got a lot of things to tell you Ma [ANNA, spoken] How long was it this time Angel? Seven years? [ANGEL, spoken] Ah Ma! [ANNA, spoken] Basta! Finito! We're closed! I'm finished! [ANGEL, spoken] Ah Ma! [ANNA] If the earth had opened up If it swallowed me inside Would my baby darling girl even realise I'd died? You were sitting on hill With some yippee on your lap Talking love and life and art and that transcendental crap With the dope I'm sure you smoked And a healthy dose of coke up your nose [ANGEL] Ah Ma! [ANNA] Up your nose! [ANGEL] Ah Ma! [ANNA] And for all you ever knew I was hustling for the rent 'Cause you only call collect maybe every other lent While I'm bleeding in the street from some maniacs attack You're in some Ramada Inn seeking wisdom on your back Making kibble of your brain An emancipated pain in the ass [ANGEL] Ah Ma! [ANNA] In the ass! [ANGEL] Ah Ma! [ANNA] And don't ah Ma me! You said you had to find yourself so find yourself some other place And don't ah Ma me! I don't need you around to help me complicate my life And if you really gave a damn You'd have never stayed away When you break a mother's heart does it make a Guru's day? But you're nearly thirty now And you'r panicked and upset So you walk back in the door And expect me to forget Welcome home, my little pig! Boy you've really got a big set of balls [ANGEL] Ah Ma! [ANNA] Oh some balls! [ANGEL] Ah Ma! [ANNA] And don't ah Ma me! You said you had to find yourself so find yourself some other place And don't ah Ma me! I don't need you around to help me complicate my life, capisce? And don't ah Ma me! The sign on the apartment doesn't say Salvation Army does it? Don't ah Ma me! I've heard it all your life and I don't need to hear it now [ANGEL] Ah Ma! It's like it was before I just walked through the door! And right away you start to fight and curse [ANNA, spoken] That's bullshit [ANGEL] Ma! I thought there'd be some tears [ANNA, spoken] Tears?! [ANGEL] And after all these years You might have mellowed some But Jesus was I dumb [ANNA] So you thought I might be calm? Maybe jolly you along? Well believe me I'm not calm And believe me you were wrong Should the sound of your hello Be like music to me years When I haven't seen your face in, what is it, seven years? So you walk back in my life Should I really bless my luck? That's an outfit you could wear on a sanitation truck "Have a daughter" I was told "They're a blessing when you're old" Ah Stugatz! [ANGEL] Ah Ma! [ANNA] Stugatz! [ANGEL] Ah Ma! [ANNA] Enough [ANGEL] Ah Ma! [ANNA] That's it [ANGEL] Ah Ma! [ANNA] Shut up. I quit [ANGEL] Ah Maaaaaaaaaaa! [ANNA] Now I've got a good thing going And I don't need you to hex it Did you notice where you entered You can also make an exit? So go out and find a husband Don't try to be a whore I am sick and tired of your ah Ma! [ANGEL] Ah Ma! [ANNA] Shush!
