Trying to lift her, pull her
[verse 1: slug]
six, six, six in the mornin and iand'm takin a nap
in the back of the car, waitin for the stars to snap
the stars on my cap remind me of the time
we went to fargo, with a car full of anxiety
an angeland's breast, and a tank top
she started at my heart, sheand's trying to make it stop
and if i havenand't learned nothin then iand've learned alot
mama had a baby and his head popped off
give it up turn it loose, for the sake of life
if i knew now what i knew then iand'd make her my wife
i been chasin these mics for too long
debating with god bout whoand's right and whoand's wrong
got a new song to sing, a little happier, hurtin
that i didnand't learn the words until after
the fact of the matter is a matter of fact, i doubt that
iand'll ever even try, to work it out to having her back
use to skip classes, now i skip breakfast
never skip practice and i need to flip the mattress
to help me forget the kiss, the lips, the soft
mama had a baby and his head popped off
[chorus: repeat 2x]
mama had a baby and his head popped off
we did all that we could to try and re-attach it
i couldnand't do it so i picked it up and threw it
off the building, just to see if all the children
were quick enough to catch it
[verse 2: slug]
so iand'll tear down these walls, let the chips fall
letand's all go outside and play a game of kick ball
laugh a little, and live alot
she squeals and giggles when i hit that spot
if you give me a minute and i can finish my beer
and move a tad bit closer to the limits of here
and when it gets clear, and the sun comes back
we can drive too fast, we can fly off the tracks
tuck in your shirt, hike up your skirt
welcome to the jungle where the tigers give birth
i only took my time because she looked so fine
and it makes me crazy trying to pay em no mind
you should save your spine and stay on the struggle
shoot the trouble and keep the temper subtle
my rent just doubled, because they took my roomate
and iand'm keepin these movies cause they all past the due date
close, cover, before striking
lick a missle at the bird and try to cripple itand's right wing
and i end every sentance with a . .
mama had a baby and his head popped off
[chorus]
[verse 3: slug]
say out loud, we must network
should have been, more specific
now have this, daily pressure
some of them, just donand't get it
leave me at, the beginning
start over and do it well
shut my trap, stop complaining
stay sober and step on shells
my oh my, yours oh yours (oh yours, oh yours)
and when it snows it pours
And when iand'm running out of fire i just open the doors
and go sit on the porch and watch the neighborhood wars
but iand've got the sun, and iand've got my son
and iand've got my will to run until iand'm dead and done
and this is for the love we found and the love we lost
mama had a baby and his head popped off
[chorus]
