Bacon Brothers The Mother Fear Lyrics

Mother Fear Lyrics

Written by kevin bacon

 

 "kind of exploring the role that fear plays in my life.  thanks to trav
for the cool lick." kb

 

 She'll wake you in the morning

 As she fills your head at night

 She'll drop by, without warning

 Just when you thought you were doing all right

 

 You think she's far away in california

 But she has never been so near

 

 Mother fear

 

 She was there the day you turned your cheek

 She led you from the fight

 She was in your throat, when you couldn't speak

 She sings harmony tonight

 She knew just were you lived

 She brought the sedatives

 She brought the whiskey and the beer

 

 Mother fear, mother fear, mother fear

 

 That peaceful feeling's so deceiving

 You check the kids to see they're breathing

 

 And as you watch your house come tumbling down

 She stands beside you in the rubble

 She'll be the first to recognize the sound

 Of the bursting of the bubble

 

 And as you prance and pose

 In your new emperor's clothes

 She'll get the crowd to laugh and cheer

 And here she comes

 

 Mother fear, mother fear

 Year after year after year
