Mama who bore me Mama who gave me No way to handle things Who made me so sad Mama, the weeping Mama, the angels No sleep in heaven, or bethlehem Mama who bore me Mama who gave me No way to handle things Who made me so bad Mama who bore me Mama who gave me No way to handle things Who made me so bad Mama, the weeping Mama, the angels No sleep in heaven, or bethlehem Some pray that one day Christ will come a'-callin' They light a candle And hope that it glows And some just lie there Crying for him to come and find them But when he comes they don't know how to go God, i dreamed there was an angel Who could hear me through the wall As i cried out, like, in latin "this is so not life at all Help me out, out of this nightmare." Then i heard her silver call She said, "just give it time, kid. i come to one and all." She said, "give me that hand, please, and the itch you can't control. Let me teach you how to handle all the sadness in your soul. Oh, we'll work that silver magic, Then we'll aim it all the wall." She said, "love may make you blind, kid, but i wouldn't mind at all." It's the bitch of living The bitch, just the bitch With nothing but your hand Just the bitch, yeah Just the bitch of living As someone you can't stand See, each night it's, like, fantastic Tossing, turning without rest 'cause my days at the piano With my teacher and her breasts And the music's, like, the one thing I can't even get at all And those breasts! I mean, god, please, just let those apples fall It's the bitch of living The bitch, just the bitch With nothing but your hand Just the bitch, yeah Just the bitch of living With nothing going on, nothing going on Just the bitch of living Do they think we want this?
