The Burdens Of Being Upright

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
Were 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, 'round 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

And 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 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
