Album: Little Earthquakes

Go go go go now
Out of the nest it's time
Go go go now
Circus girl without a safety net
Here here here now don't cry
You raised your hand for the assignment
Tuck those ribbons under your helmet
Be a good soldier
First my left foot
Then my right behind the other
Pantyhose running in the cold

Mother the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Green limousine for the redhead
Dancing dancing girl
And when I dance for him
Somebody leave the light on
Just in just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come from

I walked into your dream
And now I've forgotten
How to dream my own dream
You are the clever one aren't you
Brides in veils for you
We told you all of our secrets
All but one, so don't you even try
The phone has been disconnected
Dripping with blood
And with time and with your advice
Poison me against the moon

Mother the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Black chariot for the redhead
Dancing dancing girl
He's gonna change my name
Maybe you'll leave the light on
Just in just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come from

I escape into your escape into
Our very favorite fearscape
It's across the sky and across
My heart and I cross my legs
Oh my god...
First my left foot then my
Right behind the other
Breadcrumbs lost under the snow...

Oh mother
Oh mother the car is here
Maybe Maybe you'll leave
The light on for the for the
For the dancing girl
He's gonna change my name
Maybe you'll leave the light
Just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where
I come come from
Mother...
