Crazy Old Mothers


You walk in the shadows, you gave in too soon

An endless procession that follows the moon

You wake up each morning, the same every day

Your life feels so empty, don’t throw it away

You may work, you may be rich

Like a king just passing by

All these things won’t make you better

And bad news still makes you cry

Come on, you crazy old mothers

Let’s get in trouble

Come on, you crazy old mothers

Let’s get in trouble tonight

How does it feel? You remember

It’s in your flesh and blood

How does it feel? You remember

Just like you knew it would

It means nothing to you, you say it’s all right

But you realize when your knuckles turn white

There’s so many pathways, keep pulling you in

Don’t know where you’re going, don’t know where you’ve been

Write a note or make a call

And explain just how you feel

Put it all down in a letter

What you say, this is for real

Come on, you crazy old mothers

Let’s get in trouble

Come on, you crazy old mothers

Let’s get in trouble tonight

How does it feel? You remember

It’s in your flesh and blood

How does it feel? You remember

Just like you knew it would

Yeah, sometimes it’s hard to resist

And maybe the way that you choose to go

Yeah, knowing the things you dismissed

And even the way that you say hello

How does it feel? You remember

It’s in your flesh and blood

How does it feel? You remember

Just like you knew it would

Come on, come on, you crazy old mothers

Let’s get in trouble

Come on, come on, you crazy old mothers

Let’s get in trouble tonight

How does it feel? You remember

It’s in your flesh and blood

How does it feel? You remember

Just like you knew it would
