Meg Lee Chin

Mama don't forget about me
Im frozen like the devil in your seed
Forgive me for not trying hard enough
Understand me Im not the girl I used to be any more

Flowers lay crumpled at my feet
On the pavement
And its sunny all over
With the noise of the summer cant you make it go away
Spit the bones from my teeth as I stumble and fall all around and around
and around and around and around and around

Ill never forget all the things that you said would come true
Now Im biting my lip to keep all my thoughts escaping
So I can return to my womb

Floating on a waterless sea, Im coasting down a dead end street
And the jurys out half the night but I made my mind up never counting sheep, Im never counting sheep, Ill never count the sheep, I wont count the little creatures

I dont understand. Im hugging myself, its all that I need
Im scratching myself before the poison tastes too sweet and I, I forget what it is

My mother told me she's got a thing about dying
My mother told me she's got a thing about dying
My mother told me she's got a thing about dying
and Im rubbing my handswith exasperation

Now its time to slow down
Just leave me alone in my world
Maybe I know the way to go but Im not not sure Ive havent been there
Or maybe could it be that its all in my head

My mother told me she's got a thing about dying
and Im rubbing my handswith exasperation
Cuz its still my life and its the way that I like it.

And Id really like to know what you did with those old curtains with the flowers on them.
