Where in hell can you go. far from the things that you know. far from the sprawl of concrete. that keeps crawling it's way about. 1000 miles a day. Take one last look behind. commit this to memory and mind. Don't miss this wasteland. this terrible place. When you leave keep your heart off of your sleeve. Motherland cradle me close my eyes. lullaby me to sleep. Keep me safe lie with me. Stay beside me don't go. Don't you go. Oh my five & dime queen tell me what have you seen. The lust and avarice. The bottomless the cavernous greed. Is that what you see. Motherland cradle me close my eyes. lullaby me to sleep. Keep me safe lie with me. Stay beside me don't go. It's your happiness I want most of all. and for that I'd do anything at all. Oh mercy me. If you want the best of it. or the most of it all. if there's anything I can do at all. Now come on shot gun bride. what makes me envy your life. Faceless nameless innocent. blameless and free. what's it like to be. Motherland cradle me close my eyes. lullaby me to sleep. Keep me safe lie with me. Stay beside me don't go. Don't go.
