Mother Mother - O My Heart lyrics

rate me

Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water.

Oh my heart, it's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun.

Oh my heart, it's a rock in the gutter.

Oh my heart, it's a rocking grey boulder and stuck in the gutter.

And I throw my heart back to the ocean,

but it don't go far, it come back floating

and I watch it wash up with the bad fish

but it ain't like that, it just is like this.

Oh my heart, it's a house in tornado.

Oh my heart, it's a house in the sky in the eye of tornado.

Oh my heart, it's a roof in El Niño.

Oh my heart, it's a roof made of straw in the jaw of El Niño.

And I pour my heart a new foundation

But it don't set hard it just *stays* shaking.

And I scratch my name, I scratch my name in.

But it don't set hard it *gets mixed back in*

Buhm buhm buhm buhm...

Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water.

Oh my heart, it's a rock in the gutter.

Oh my heart, it's a black in a rainbow.

Oh my heart, it's so damn cold, so damn cold.

And I throw my heart into the fire

'cause I want to set my heart on fire

and I watch it try befriending embers

but the ice don't melt in mid-December.

Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water.

Oh my heart, it's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun
