Mother Lyrics

In the patent leather life I was foolish you were right
All night rookies past the time, looking for someone to hold
Shiny boots all up their thighs
Mother in the night (I'm calling you, calling you)
Mother in the night (where are you, where are you now?)
Mother's left the building, weʼre the missing children
Mother in the night, where are you, where are you tonight?

Mother, may I stay all night?
Lift your curfew like the light
Collars turned against the cold
I'm looking for someone to hold
In your patent leather night
Mother in the night (I'm calling you, calling you)
Mother in the night (where are you, where are you now?)
Mother's left the building, we're the missing children
Mother in the night, where are you, where are you?

Now that I can't remember I need you more than ever
Why can't we be together always?
Mother in the night
Mother in the night
Mother's left the building, we're the missing children
Mother in the night
(where are you, where are you now?)
Mother in the night
(i'm calling you, calling you)
Mother in the night
Where are you, where are you tonight?
