Protein Sky

Mother Hips


You are nothing like the others 
You've got two feet to stand on 
I have two feet for walking 
but that is not the question 

I can't picture you a mother 
going crazy for the children 
going crazy of the children 
always the children 

Lay down on the ice 
regard the protein sky 
do what you early on learned to do 
put your lips to the straw and draw 

You were spied on from the pick-up 
kneeling in the Castaway lot 
your fists were shaking in the air 
'everything is gonna be alright' you were sayin 

If you're nothing like I remember 
and I kill you when we meet 
bear in mind that I was only joking 
about your mother and your feet 

Lay down on the ice 
regard the protein sky 
do what you early on learned to do 
put your lips to the straw and draw
