Song Lyrics » Artists B » Bacon Brothers » Mother Fear

Written by kevin bacon

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

Shell wake you in the morning
As she fills your head at night
Shell drop by, without warning
Just when you thought you were doing all right

You think shes 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 couldnt 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 feelings so deceiving
You check the kids to see theyre breathing

And as you watch your house come tumbling down
She stands beside you in the rubble
Shell be the first to recognize the sound
Of the bursting of the bubble

And as you prance and pose
In your new emperors clothes
Shell get the crowd to laugh and cheer
And here she comes

Mother fear, mother fear
Year after year after year
