Mama Don't Kill Me

by Paisley Nightmare

/

lyrics

Never chase someone who is running
Never run from what you can face
It always feels like a new kind of pain
but it's just the same old place

And I said mama don't kill me
Mama mama don't kill me
I'm here hanging on every threat
Each day's like a different disease
Oh mama don't kill me

Oh the courtyard smelled so sweet
Fresh tobacco and burgundy
There's nothing like Australian wine
to make you think you're losing your mind
Thought I found a way to travel through time
ah but everything was lost to the brine
and the years have been bitter since then
I'm a motherfucking ghost; all I got is this pen
and America's under my skin
all red and fucking white; when will the blue come in?

And I said mama don't kill me
Mama mama don't kill me
I'm here delivering every word
Each day is like a different disease
Mama don't kill me

Sometimes I've felt free
Sometimes I've felt clean
Sometimes I sink in sin so deep no one can ever murder me
Are you gonna murder me?
Are you gonna cease to scream?
Go and find your mind
Give it to someone who won't make you cry
You got yours and I got mine
Can't get through life without a little crime
a little fucking crime

And I said mama don't kill me
Mama mama don't kill me
I'm here delivering every word
Each day is like a different disease
Mama don't kill me

Are you gonna fucking murder me?
Are you gonna set me free?
The sun is sinking. There's somewhere I gotta be.
Gonna hit the street.
