lyrics

MOTHER’S TONGUE

Are you afraid of the dark?
But where do you think you came from?

Touch fire with a glove
Wrap your hand in tape and say
It was worth the right to be with love
It was worth the right to be with love

Lick poison from a cup
You will say the strangest things
When you've had it straight from mother's tongue
When you've had it straight from mother's tongue

Lick it up, little pup
Then you scream, til it's clean
In the dark...
