Lyrics for The Mother Road
Took the mother road down to goddess flesh I swallowed the key I want to learn to swallow my pain Hallowed the fruit, hallowed thy name Guess I needed something to break me Guess I needed something to shake me up Guess I needed someone to break me Guess I needed someone to shake me up Afraid to live, afraid to die Building a broken but precious web Like a spider in Chernobyl And when the cattle low Something is on the horizon I do not have a child But I'm old enough to know some pain And I'm hell-bent on loving you Women know what it is to endure Guess I needed something to break me Guess I needed something to shake me up Guess I needed someone to break me Guess I needed someone to shake me up It was you It was you Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform Guess I needed something to break me
