lyrics
Mother Knows Best
Mother knows best,
Birthday boy.
Lay your son,
Down to rest.
Did they ever find out that you wet the bed,
Like a little white lie, like "i'm feeling tired".
Lay a little man down, lay him all the way.
So to satisfy yourself, satisfy the man.
Take your hands,
Off of me.
There's a crack in the mirror on the boulevard.
Old medusa saw herself, said she's getting old.
I hope the sun never sets on that boulevard.
I heard the stars don't age if you just fade away.
Mother knows best,
Birthday boy.
Lay each man,
Down to rest.
There's a crack in the mirror on the boulevard.
Old medusa saw herself, said she's getting old.
I hope the sun never sets on that boulevard.
I heard the stars don't age if you just fade away.
Be a failure,
The eraser.
Be a waster,
Be the razor.
Be a failure,
The eraser.
Be a waster,
Be the razor.
Be the lover,
I'm your father.
I'm a star and i'm your mother.
Be a failure,
Be a razor,
I'm a razor.
I'm alright.
Leech, hard, suck and steal.
Lie, lay, lonely bored.
I'm not getting old.
I'm not getting old .
Mother knows best,
Birthday boy.
Lay your son,
Down to rest.
Did they ever find out that you wet the bed,
Like a little white lie, like "i'm feeling tired".
Lay a little man down, lay him all the way.
So to satisfy yourself, satisfy the man.
Take your hands,
Off of me.
There's a crack in the mirror on the boulevard.
Old medusa saw herself, said she's getting old.
I hope the sun never sets on that boulevard.
I heard the stars don't age if you just fade away.
Mother knows best,
Birthday boy.
Lay each man,
Down to rest.
There's a crack in the mirror on the boulevard.
Old medusa saw herself, said she's getting old.
I hope the sun never sets on that boulevard.
I heard the stars don't age if you just fade away.
Be a failure,
The eraser.
Be a waster,
Be the razor.
Be a failure,
The eraser.
Be a waster,
Be the razor.
Be the lover,
I'm your father.
I'm a star and i'm your mother.
Be a failure,
Be a razor,
I'm a razor.
I'm alright.
Leech, hard, suck and steal.
Lie, lay, lonely bored.
I'm not getting old.
I'm not getting old .
