THESE DAYS

All manner of men coming at my door

Since the one that was up ain’t around anymore

Got one he lay naked, sang Zepplin to me

Drives a matte black BMW SUV

He whispered there’s a line of coke right of the sink

He brushed my hair and filled my drink

I can’t decide who is poisoning me

Or when I look in the mirror who am I gonna see

THESE DAYS ARE ONE LONG NITE

AND I HEAR MY MOTHER CALLING OUT MY NAME

People talk about heaven rolling round in hell

Give girls like me something special to sell

I’m sipping on your daddy’s sweet vermouth

So it’s easy for me to tell ya the truth

I bare this soul, I bare this pain

Least it gets heard, no it ain’t in vain

So don’t come selling crazy, we stocked up here

And don’t forget your souvenir

THESE DAYS ARE ONE LONG NITE

AND I HEAR MY MOTHER CALLING OUT MY NAME

I can feel the eyes bounce off me

Yeah, you can believe this shit ain’t free

And it’s alright and it’s all true

Keep talking ‘bout anybody but you

Cause when the tears roll they flower my tongue

And where there’s smoke it warms my lungs

If you think I can’t take the heat

They don’t sell crack on Cleveland Street

THESE DAYS ARE ONE LONG NITE

AND I HEAR MY MOTHER CALLING OUT MY NAME

Temporary Jesus and impermanent fate

While rehab bodies lay in state

Soon I will rest in Orion’s arms

Where I can’t hear your false alarms

I’ll sing with sirens of the sea

A million miles from purgatory

Maybe in morning I’ll get some rest

Take another strangers head to my chest

THESE DAYS ARE ONE LONG NITE

AND I HEAR MY MOTHER CALLING OUT MY NAME

THESE DAYS, THEY COME OUT OF SPITE

AND I HEAR MOTHER CALLIN OUT MY

HEAR MY MOTHER CALLIN OUT MY

HEAR MY MOTHER CALLIN OUT MY NAME
