Mother takes the Greyhounds
She said she lost her mantra way down south
But all that repetition just got her down
Got her down
Now she says she won't do drugs
Because she found something to love
She cured herself of everything
There's nothing left but hair and skin
The only thing I asked her
Was did she have a plaster
For my pain
Oh, for the pain
She closed her eyes and took my hand
She said that God might have a plan for me
Making love in Mother's room
I felt like I could see through her to him
But heaven is the place that's open
When all the bars in town are closed
And heaven is the place I never find
The only thing I told her
Was that God would have no answer
For my pain
Oh, for the pain
Oh, for the pain
She threw my clothes against the wall
She said, "I've met your type before
Don't go
Oh, don't go
I've cured myself of everything
And now I think I know what makes you tick"
She tied my hands above my head
Said a prayer and fetched a whip
She said the Devil hides within my heart
The only thing I asked her
Was did she have a plaster
For my pain
Oh, for the pain
Oh, for the pain
Oh, for the pain
