Lyrics The Jezabels

The Jezabels

A Message from My Mothers Passed

A message came for me today

The voice was soft and wise

If you go out alone tonight

Just watch your back my child

Something's happening

Something strong

Someone's tapping

At the door

You know that funny feeling

At moments of this type?

The senses become keener

You see through other eyes?

I walked along the underpass

Cute little rats scattered

In the pale moonlight

And when the moment came to pass

I told them

No

Not me

Not this time

Something's happening

But not what you thought

Someone's tapping

I hope you find

Some safety soon

Or a middle ground

A message came for me again

When I was twenty two

That's going back in time

You say

Well, that's just what I'll do

For those collecting bodies

In any age

Are looking for a type

Whatever you do, little girl

Just hold your head up high

I said

Higher

Higher

Higher

Reach the sun

May you appear

Younger

Younger

Younger

But not too young (Something's happening, oh no)

Oh no

It won't be long

You wanna be

Stronger

Stronger

Stronger

But not too strong

Lie safely in the middle ground
