Mother’s Day Ezra Furman & The Harpoons

Hello. This song is called Mother's Day; it's about a whore I knew in Chicago. Here it goes, goes

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

She died with a smile right under her nose
The drive-by victim of a big drug overdose
She was a whore from the ol' street corner uptown
I'm the only one who came to see 'em lower her down

I saw her last light shining
She always said go to prom and quit your whining
I must confess
I didn't know just what she meant then

One time I seen it was a marriage she ran away from
I saw the jewelry when she got her upper button undone
I linked the crime to the corner where we met
I wanted some but she said she wasn't young enough yet

I'm on another merry-go-round
And I scream but I don't make a sound
Virginia was just another person I found

We've come a long way in a sense
We've lost a lot of innocence
Don't try to keep us in a fence
We'll break through
