i had a dream that i wrote this song in and when i woke up it was in my head so i wrote down the first part
then somethin in my real life happened just like the song and thats when i wrote the second part
i guess its about losin your illusions, and heroin if you dont know
i never wrote another song after that tho i never had another idea worth givin a song to
theres no rhythm to the words when theyre here, u only hear that when its in the music so dont worry about tryina read it to have timing, its just the ideas thats important anyway
*****************************
mother 20 took her money
to the park where it is sunny
i cant see anything she said come on lets get another 20
and when she blew her fix and half the bag
she had to laugh
cuz life's like that
fuck everything fuck everything
its not so bad
i cant see she said
anything at all
things were clearer
now they are not
but you know
i got the moon and stars
im not alone
now im talkin on god's telephone
sometimes i dont know what im doin
and i like to go out walkin with my worries after dark
one day i saw her there and we were talkin
as i bought my little paper bags down the park
yea mother 20 never aged
she fueled her youth with righteous rage
until one day she knew that it was over
so she said goodbye to all the things
that mattered most so she could sing
the song of all the things she knew would hurt her
and when im finally found i know they gonna kick the door down
but i wont waste any time messin around
n if they press my throat to take my life ill say
fuck the cops
and pull a knife
cuz i know i wont be back again tomorrow
well i cant see im sayin
anything at all
things were clear but now
theyre gone gone gone
and i have learned so many
things after this long
and now i know that i am not
god's only son
