Mother Valentine

allen / cox / gray [Life... is a state of mind]

Out goes ego on the first mistake

Out goes ego on the tide

This one's waiting for his mother's love

And up jumps mother valentine [valentine]

Too many compose a shame

And I hear voices like

Abraham This is your papa wrapped up in time

This is your mama in valentines

In valentines [x4]

This is your mama crawling back into the sack [valentine]

This is your papa singing "find another dad" [valentine]

This is your mama singing "that's no lie" [valentine]

This is your papa come to send them both away

I want to sleep,

I want to slide

I want to reel in the space from either side

I'm on a roll,

I'm on a ride

I'm only waiting for mother valentine

Out goes ego on the first mistake

Out goes ego on the tide

This one's waiting for his mother's love

And up jumps mother valentine [valentine]

This is your mama crawling back into the sack [valentine]

This is your papa singing "find another dad" [valentine]

This is your mama singing "that's no lie" [valentine]

This is your papa come to send them both away

God bless this miracle

God bless eternity

God bless you and me
