ANURADHA PAUDWAL, KAVITA SUBRAMANIAM - Mother Mother Dear Mother lyrics

Don't let those precious moments fool you

Happiness is getting you down

A rainbow never smiles or blinks

You were going on at half-past seven

Now it's going on a quarter 'til nine

All the angels want to know

Are you lost or treading water?

And you're going on your fifteenth bender

But you've only got a matter of time

Yes we've all got seeds to sow

Not everyone's got lambs to slaughter

When the night wind starts to turn

Into the ocean breeze

And the dew drops sting and burn

Like angry honey bees

That is when you hear the song falling from the sky

Happy yesterday to all

We were born to die

Sometimes you're filled with the notion

The afterlife's a moment away

You want to tell someone the way that you feel

But then you ain't got nothing to say

You fight for freedom from devotion

A battle that will always begin

With somebody giving you a piece of advice;

By the way you're living in sin

Now there's never gonna be an intermission

But there'll always be a closing night

Never entertain those visions

Lest you may have packed your bags

First impressions are cheap ambitions

Sometimes are long goodbyes

Truth so often to living dormant

Good luck walks and bullshit flies

When the headlights guide your way

You know the place is right

When the treetops sing and sway

Don't go to sleep tonight

That is when you see the sign

Luminous and high:

Tomorrow's not what it used to be

We were born to die

Happy yesterday to all

We were born to die
