Текст пісні
I always wanted the best for Mama ever since she began to fail
I tried to make her lonesome room a pleasant cell to jail
I read about it in the papers, the gift of love or so they say
I swore she wouldn't feel a thing, but
I thought they'd wait till she was dead
Mama lost her head today, she keeps talking anyway
Her head's on ice but her body's dead
Mama's just a talking head
Mama's just a talking head
My daddy told me many times just before he passed away
"Take good care of your mama, son, you'll be glad you did someday"
I didn't do what daddy said, no, I thought that I was smart
Mama always said I put the head before the heart
Mama always said I put the head before the heart!
Mama lost her head today, she keeps talking anyway
Her head's on ice but her body's dead
Mama's just a talking head
Mama's just a talking head
My mama was a good woman, or at least she was deep down
I know she had a temper, and so did the whole damn town
On her very last night on this old earth she let out such a yell
I swear she shook the demons deepest down in hottest hell
I swear she shook the demons deepest down in hottest hell!
Mama lost her head today, she keeps talking anyway
Her head's on ice but her body's dead
Mama's just a talking head
Mama's just a talking head
My treasure's up in heaven, but I'm still stuck down here
My mama's been the cross I bear for year upon year
Sometimes I try to sneak out, but she's always at the door
She says, "My son, I'll let you go, but six of nevermore"
She says, "My son, I'll let you go, but six of nevermore!"
Mama lost her head today, she keeps talking anyway
Her head's on ice but her body's dead
Mama's just a talking head
Mama's just a talking head
