Mother mother how's the family,
I'm just calling to say hello
How's the weather how's my father
am I lonely heavens no
Mother mother are you listening,
Just a phone call to ease your mind
Life is perfect never better, distance making the heart grow blind
When you sent me off to see the world,
where you scared that I might get hurt
Would I try a little tobacco,
would I keep on hiking up my skirt
I'm hungry I'm dirty
I'm losing my mind
Everything's fine
I'm freezing I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death
Everything's fine Yeah,
I'm working, making money
I'm just starting 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 want to 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 losing my mind
Everything's fine
I'm freezing I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death
Everything's fine
I miss you I love you
