Oh My My Lyrics

Oh My My lyrics

EVERYTHING YOU SAY 
EVERYTHING YOU DO 
WILL COME BACK 
TO STAND WITH YOU  
 
EVERYTHING YOU TRUST 
EVERYTHING YOU FEEL 
WILL COME BACK 
TO KNEEL WITH YOU  
 
EVERYTHING YOU SAY 
EVERYTHING YOU TRY 
WILL COME OUT 
SOUNDING LIKE A LIE  
 
EVERYTHING YOU TRUST 
EVERYTHING YOU KNOW 
WILL TURN TO DUST 
WILL BLOW 
AWAY  
 
...Oh My My...  
 
I`m cracking 
I`m cracking 
cracking 
I`m cracking into a thousand pieces  
 
OPEN UP YOUR EYES  
 
mama mama please come quick 
something`s wrong I`m feeling sick 
mama mama I`m in a mess 
I can`t lose this heaviness  
 
oh my...oh my my my...oh my Mother  
 
mary had a little lamb 
little lamb 
little lamb 
mary had a little lamb 
its fleece was...oh...  
 
mama mama 
I searched these hills for my sweet lamb 
I carried myself up the mountain 
And 5 men came out 
And I laid myself down 
And I looked around 
And I couldn`t find my sweet lamb 
I`m looking for my Bottom Line 
And as soon as I find it 
I`m gonna turn my life around  
 
oh my...oh my my my...oh my Mother 
oh my...oh my my my...oh my Brother  
 
YOU`RE FLOATING IN A HARBOUR 
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT 
AND YOU`RE LOOKING ALL AROUND YOU 
AND YOU CAN`T SEE ANY LIGHT 
AND THE BLACK AND STARLESS HEAVENS 
WEIGH DOWN UPON YOUR SOUL 
AND YOU FACE THE OPEN SEA 
AND YOU`RE NOT SURE THAT YOU WANNA GO 
AND YOU SCAN THE HORIZON 
BUT THE ONLY LIGHT YOU FIND 
IS IN THE PLACE YOU CAME FROM 
THE PLACE YOU LEFT BEHIND 
OH SO YOU`RE MOVING OUT 
MOVING OUT 
MOVING OUT 
CUTTING THE CORDS 
YOU DON`T KNOW WHERE YOU`RE GOING 
AND YOU DON`T HAVE ANY MAPS 
AND THE ONLY THING YOU`RE SURE OF 
IS YOU AIN`T...GOING...BACK  
 
1. YOU WILL BE BORN INTO A STRANGE AND DESOLATE PLACE. 
2. IT WILL BE CALLED "THE AVERAGE HOME." 
3. THE TIMES WILL BE RESTLESS AND FULL OF UNCERTAINTY. 
4. YOU WILL SILENTLY QUESTION THIS OF YOUR MOTHER AS YOU WATCH HER MOVE AWAY.  
 
Precious Candles 
YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR OWN 
Is LIFE not Precious?... 
YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR OWN  
 
mama mama 
please come quick 
take me home from school 
I feel so sick  
 
mama mama 
something`s wrong 
my heart is breaking 
but I don`t know why  
 
oh my...oh my my my...oh my Mother 
oh my...oh my my my...oh my Brother  
 
5. THERE WILL BE NO ANSWER. 
6. YOU WILL BEGIN THE LONG PROCESS OF SHUTTING DOWN. 
7. YOUR COUNTENANCE WILL REFLECT LESS LIGHT AND LATER WHEN YOU LOOK 
AT PICTURES OF YOURSELF YOU WILL WONDER. 
8. YOU WILL GIVE UP YOUR BACKBONE TO THE T.V. AND ACCEPT A VALUE SYSTEM 
9. PUTTING FORTH LIES, HATRED AND INTOLERANCE IN THE NAME OF LOVE AS
ACCEPTABLE. 
10. NO ONE WILL STEP FORWARD FROM THE SHADOWS SAYING: "EXPECT THIS, IT IS PART
OF THE PATH." 
11. YOU WILL DISCOVER DRUGS AND ALCOHOL. 
12. YOU WILL INSTINCTIVELY MOVE TOWARDS YOUR OWN BOTTOM LINE.  
 
Precious Candles 
YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR OWN 
Precious Candles 
YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR OWN  
 
mama mama please come quick 
hold my head I feel so sick 
mama mama let me come home 
wrap me up I can`t get warm  
 
oh my...oh my my my...oh my Mother 
oh my...oh my my my...oh my Brother  
 
13. YOU WILL RUSH HEADLONG TOWARDS YOUR BOTTOM LINE IN AN INSTINCTIVE ATTEMPT
TO HEAL. 
14. YOU WILL GO TO AA TO LEARN WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED IN SUNDAY SCHOOL. 
15. AND THEN YOU WILL GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO CRY. AND YOU WILL CRY AND CRY
AND CRY. 
16. AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL MOVE AWAY NERVOUSLY AND YOU`LL FEEL LIKE A FOOL. 
17. AND NO ONE WILL STEP FORWARD FROM THE SHADOWS SAYING 
18. "THE JOURNEY FORWARD INCLUDES MOVEMENT INTO DESPAIR." 
19. AND YOU WILL BE GATHERING STRENGTH 
20. EVEN AS YOU DON`T UNDERSTAND. 
21. AND CERTAIN WORDS LIKE LOVE AND... 
22. INTEGRITY WILL BE DRAWN INTO YOUR SPINE. 
23. AND THEN ONE DAY... 
24. YOU WILL TURN OFF THE T.V.  
 
Precious Candles 
YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR OWN 
Precious Candles 
YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR OWN  
 
mama mama something`s wrong 
there`s only silence where there once was song 
I keep hearing all these bells 
am I healing or dying? I can`t tell.  
 
hey ho 
sail on out 
sail all night 
sail on with all your might 
land ahead 
land ho 
land ho 
land ho  
 
I sure miss that little lamb 
that little lamb called Puff 
or...was it...Poof? or... 
well, anyways, I sure miss that sweet lamb  
 
lay down upon your pillow... 
just live all you can knowing that`s all 
you have to give  
 
mama mama I almost did it 
I almost carried myself up the mountainside 
In my own arms 
And laid myself down  
 
there a New Strength nearby, I know 
And as soon as I find my Bottom Line 
I`m gonna turn my life around  
 
I sure miss that little lamb...  
 
here I go
