A song for me mums...

A tattoo of mine
|
When you were just five years old
Your mother stole you from your dad
Then she took you to some island state
Where little boys were the hippest fads
But she did not realize how hard it'd be
To rearrange, and civilize
I guess older boys were much easier
They filled her purse, and never asked why
But I’m gonna ask why, because...
(Chorus)
I can see
I surmise
You are me.
(Bridge)
They put snakes in your hair
To complete your Gorgon stare
And now you’ve got the Midas touch
Too bad you wanted to control so damn much
You should just let go
You should just let go, like me
You should just let go.
When you were the latest queen
I heard you tied them up to burn your past
But being such a water sign
Your constant motion became your cast
And I always wondered who you really were?
But no one could recall your name
I guess you disappeared with so much success
You kept us pondering just why you came,
But I know why you came because...
I can see
I surmise
that you are me.
(Bridge)
Before they put their filthy hands on you
You made all my worst nightmares come true
Yes indeed, yeah you left your shadow
with a baby flame that...
No one can see
Because I see
I surmise
you are me
I am you...
you are me.
