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 Tuck those ribbons under your helmet Be a good soldier First my left foot then my right behind the other Pantyhose running in the cold Mother, the car is here Somebody leave the light on Green limousine for the redhead Dancing, dancing girl And when I dance for him Somebody leave the light on Just in, just in case I like the dancing I can 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 and 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 Mother, the car is here Somebody leave the light on Black chariot for the redhead Dancing, dancing girl He's going to change my name Somebody leave the light on Just in, just in case I like the dancing I can remember where I come from I escape into Your escape into Our very favourite fearscape It's across the sky And across my heart And I crossed my legs Oh my god First my left foot then my right behind the other Breadcrumbs lost under the snow Oh, oh Mother Mother, the car is here, here, here Maybe you'll leave the light on Oh, for the, for the, for this dancing girl He's going to change my name Somebody leave the light Just in, just in case I like the dancing I can remember where I come from Mother, mother Mother

To the mothers who aren't sleeping That are having trouble feeding Too afraid to say they're not okay No, not at all To the mothers who feel empty That aren't sure they're even ready To be alone and responsible For somebody so small To the mothers who are lost Pulled underneath the waves Who need to cry for help But are drowning in their shame To the mothers who are falling And don't even make a sound Who don't know that they're broken Until they hit the ground This one's for you I've been there too I've been there too To the mother that's at home Scrolling through her phone Watching everybody else Make family look easy To the mom with a career Who can't take off a whole year So she has to pay somebody else To take care of her baby To the mothers who are lost Pulled underneath the waves Who need to cry for help But are drowning in their shame To the mothers who are falling And don't even make a sound Who don't know that they're broken Until they hit the ground This one's for you I've been there too And one day you'll discover Going from a woman to a mother It might break you but it might save you To the mother in the mirror Who wishes she was thinner 'Cause now her body isn't Somebody that she knows And to the mothers just like me Who fell apart so suddenly I hope you realize You're not alone This one's for you This one's for you 'Cause I've been there too I've been there too (I love you, mom)
