| Mamasita, catch me now as I sink
|
| Into darkness I thought to be extinct
|
| Chilled my eyeballs as the curtains were torn
|
| And shed a light so bright
|
| Shining like the day I was born
|
| Mamasita, take from me what I stole
|
| Oh, I get a look from you that strips me
|
| To a blank page in my soul
|
| Like the left open window ignored
|
| It cuts to my core when I see you cry
|
| Mamasita, I’ve prepared my defense
|
| Flawed as ever in the drunkest tense
|
| Kept repeating, kept repeating myself
|
| In my native tongue the parlance of problem itself
|
| Mamasita, hold me now as I ache
|
| She’s got a real firm grip and she’s rockin'
|
| Trying to shake me awake
|
| Turn on the white noise murmur of the AM band
|
| And the last classic rock band’s last solid record creeps in
|
| A call out of the blue from an old, old friend
|
| Instant, instant disassembly
|
| Mamasita, into pieces I fall
|
| Oh, you did your heart no favors
|
| Darling, when you taught me to crawl
|
| Don’t beseech me for the answers you seek
|
| Oh, I kept explaining that I was too tired
|
| To continue to speak
|
| Mamasita, hear me now I insist
|
| Oh, you’ve got to trust me when I say
|
| Long for something better than this
|
| Kept repeating, kept repeating myself
|
| There’s nothing left to dismantle
|
| The house it just collapsed on itself
|
| Instant, instant disassembly
|
| Mamasita, tie me loose as I flee
|
| Oh, it seems that you’ve got a spotlight
|
| Cast on the dark side of me
|
| I feel a pain so acute like I’m being impaled
|
| And I can’t breathe, can’t breathe, it’s hard to inhale
|
| And it’s worth repeating
|
| I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
|
| It’s hard to inhale yeah
|
| I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
|
| It’s hard to inhale yeah
|
| I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
|
| It’s hard to inhale yeah
|
| When you’re near
|
| I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
|
| It’s hard to inhale yeah
|
| I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
|
| It’s hard to inhale yeah
|
| I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
|
| It’s hard to inhale yeah
|
| I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
|
| It’s hard to inhale yeah
|
| I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe… |
