In the Wings Mother Mother

[Intro]
Ooooooh, ooh ooh ooh

[Verse 1]
Mama said I was allowed to love myself
Instead, I found a crown, to counterfeit
Put it on my head, strut around
Putting on the ritz
I put it in a book I write, inside my mind
A quintessential classic in my mind

[Chorus 1]
I am waiting in the wings
Me and my thespian, we're ready to get in
I've got people in my skin
Crawling around, I could be any one of them

[Verse 2]
Off to dinner with a girl; ugly girl
She asked me where I work; city girl
I'm the prince of thieves, come to bed
I steal the imagery
And put it in a mood I set up in my head
Of violence and sex up in my head

[Chorus 2]
I am waiting in the wings
Me and my Fred Astaire, we're dying to get in there
I've got people in my skin
Crawling around, I could be any one of them
