[Mother]
Little Earthquakes
liner

go go go go now out of the nest it's time go go go now circus girl without a safety net here here now don't cry you raised your hand for the assignment tick those ribbons under your helmet be a good soldier first my left foot them my right behind the OTHER panty hose running in the cold mother the car is here somebody leave the light on green limousine for the redhead DANCING dancing girl an when I dance for him somebody leave the light on just in case I like the dancing I can't remember where I come from I walked into your dream and now I've forgotten how to dream my own dream you are the CLEVER one aren't you brides in veils for you we told you all of our secrets all but one so don't you even try the phone has been disconnected dripping with blood and with time and with your advice poison me against the MOON I escape into your escape into our very favorite fearscape it's across the sky and across my heart and I cross my legs oh my god first my left foot then my right behind the other breadcrumbs lost under the snow
