Mother's Mother Tongue

from Noise Please - Songs from InHaus by The Neutrinos

lyrics

You’ve started speaking in your mother’s mother tongue
You’ve been telling me that everything will be undone

Zip it up and babble that you only want to talk shop
Your lips are still now but the words will never ever stop

Break it to me, break it to me on the incline
I’m thinking that it’s downhill all the way this time

It’s downhill all the way this time

Since you’ve been singing through your daddy’s daddy smile
The body count is mounting up along the murder mile

I grip to slow me just to break the shallow downfall
Your umbrella flicks and takes us both into a brick wall

Break it to me gently notify me on the up rise
I’m going down this time and you’re saying likewise

I’m going down this time, yeah, yeah, likewise

Pulling on the strings that hook the heart into the head
Playing on the minds that leave the mothers left for dead

All them others left for dead

Since you’ve been rapping in your mother’s mother tongue
Gassing with the cadavers and hanging with the well hung

Pushing up the daisies in the topsoil of the badlands
Shoving back the shooting stars til the universe expands

So break it to me easy, alert me on the flat line
I know you’re thinking everything will be fine

I know you’re thinking everything will be fine

Since you’ve been speaking in your mother’s mother tongue...
