The Veronicas · The Veronicas Complete [2009]

Mother mother

Can you hear me?

I'm just calling

To say hello

How's the weather?

How's my father?

Am I lonely?

Heavens know



Mother mother

Are you listening?

Just a phone call

To ease your mind

Life is perfect

Never better

Distance making

The heart grow blind



When you sent me out to see the world

Were you scared that I might get hurt?

Would I try a little tobacco?

Would I keep on hiking up my skirt?



I'm hungry

I'm dirty

I'm losing my mind

Everything's fine

I'm freezing

I'm starving

I'm bleeding to death

Everything's fine



Yeah, I'm working

Making money

I'm just starting

To build a name

I can feel that

Around the corner

I can make it

Any day



Mother mother

Can you hear me?

Yeah I'm sober

Sure, I'm sane

Life is perfect

Never better

Still your daughter

Still the same



If I tell you what you wanna hear

Will it help you to sleep well at night?

Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear?

Now just cuddle up and sleep tight



I'm hungry

I'm dirty

I'm losing my mind

Everything's fine

I'm freezing

I'm starving

I'm bleeding to death

Everything's fine



I miss you

I love you
