Born Tight

Catch a tiger by the toe

And when it bites you, don't let go

You bite it back so it knows

That you're wild and you're born on a tightrope

Build a fortress up on a hill

Find a love that fits the bill

Sometimes it never will

So you burn it down and you notch the kill

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama

Can't help you now!

(Be brave)

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama

Can't help you now!

(Be brave)

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama

Can't help you now!

(Be brave)

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama

Can't help you now!

You wear your fears up on your shoulders

Like a bird with the weight of a boulder

Will you pretend the pretense is over?

Will you let your anger smolder?

When my mind gets old and decrepit

And my heart forgets how to forgive

Hide a bullet in my nose

And whisper that I was born on a tightrope

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama

Can't help you now!

(Be brave)

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama

Can't help you now!

(Be brave)

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama

Can't help you now!

And the only thing that I ever learned to be true was that:

(Be brave)

(Be brave)

Girls just wanna have fun!

(Be brave)

Girls just wanna have fun!

(Be brave)

Girls just wanna have fun!

(Be brave)

Girls just wanna have fun!

(Be brave)

(Be brave)

(Be brave)

Aah!
