Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Mother, mother, look at me, I think I must be born
Through the great black wall of nothing I have bravely torn
I know that one dramatic day I gotta return
But for the moment mother I got money to burn
ย
I cannot waste my ticking time by sleeping through the night
Sat down at the casino betting on which religion is right
Got a hundred grand on the Torah, a hundred grand on the Bible
Only put seven on the Book of Mormon
For the sake of economic survival
ย
Mother, mother, I've got it all, I got a head full of black steam
Decoded the code of the human brain and demystified the dream
Found the meaning of life and why we drown in fantasies of true love
And I'm selling my genius answer to whoever first pays up
ย
I am the centrefold and the headline story
Of my time and my place and my epoch
I am printed on banknotes and slipped into folksongs
And carved deep into the cliffrock
My harem of wives and my brilliant lives
My endless children and friends
There was no bug or rat, no habitat
To which my kindness would not extend
ย
It is a simple thing to be a human being
Just grasp the divine and ignore the obscene
Fill your soul with love and the saying goes
Your rotted corpse will sprout a bright red bleeding rose
ย
So I rose from my tomb and began to ascend
When the idiot asked "Are you not afraid of the end?"
I replied "What is so unfamiliar about this place
That it should cause fear
I leave through the same little rip that I snuck through to get here"
