Lyrics When I See Mommy I Feel Like A Mummy - Captain Beefheart

When I See Mommy I Feel Like A Mummy

oh woe — when i see mommy
i feel like a mummy
i feel like a mummy
i feel like a mummy
gonna wrap her up every time i see her
every time i see her
i want to grab her
pull her up to me
till i look through her
but she moves so fast
that i can’t even see her
her interest fades
like breath on a mirror
every time i see her
every time i see her
i try to grab her
and the wind from my hand
blows away like a feather
every time i grab her
every time i grab her
oh — when i see mommy
i feel like a mummy
gonna wrap her up gonna wrap her up next time i see her
next time i see her
i’m gonna seize her
then i’m gonna freeze her
it’s the only way
that i might get to see her
gonna wrap her up — oh, mommy
oh, when i see mommy
i feel like a mummy
i feel like a mummy
i feel like a mummy
every time i see her
every time i see her
i want to grab her
pull her up to me
till i look right through her
but she moves so fast
that i can’t even see her
her interest fades
like a breath on a mirror
like a breath on a mirror
like a breath on a mirror
like a breath on a mirror
like a breath on a mirror
yeah, when i see mommy
i feel like a mummy
i feel like a mummy
