Mother - Thin White Rope

I hate this business of visiting my hometown

Seeing my friend in her old place

Just something stupid I felt in high school

Now I go gliding from face to face

And I should say what I know;

It’s hard to stay as to go

You seem so desperate to show me your friends

Like a mortician under county review

You never lose what you don’t extend

So curl up and let the wind bury you

And I should say what I know;

It’s hard to stay as to go

I hate this business of visiting my hometown

Moving the corpse from place to place

Just something stupid I felt in high school

Should leave the sand smooth on your harsh face

And I should say what I know;

It’s hard to stay as to go
