Lyrics for When Mama Was Moth

Sunburst and snowblind I'd seen the (I shouldn't fear) Fear running down my brook While mama was clear (queer), One more brook Chills all start screaming Ribbed and veined The sunburst and the snowblind A chill of fear running down my back When mama was moth, I took bulb form Body electric Writhe in vain Body electric Body electric Body electric Body electric Body electric Body electric Body electric Body electric Body electric Body electric Body electric
