Sweetness,
On the rips of your old dress.
Twilight
Passed the banks of the warm fire.
Whispers in the dark, they hit the trees
And they run in to your heart to find mamas sleeves.
Daddy aint awake, and daylights gone.
Afraid of the dark, you think of mamas bones.
Cause I cant live like this
Because I heard your mama cry.
Behind the door Im listening;
She said shes gonna fly.
With words your mouth shes kissing.
And she said, "Woah, oh, oh, child,
Your back is straight;
Dont let hurt curve it that way."
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.

Sweetness,
On the ribs of your bare chest.
Twilight
On the roof of that snowy night.
You ran outside without your boots on.
You could be lost, youd find yourself at home
Where mamas house is up on the sunrise.
Sweet good God, just take me by surprise.
Cause I cant live like this,
Because I heard your mama cry.
Behind the door Im listening;
She said shes gonna fly.
With words your mouth shes kissing.
And she said, "Woah, oh, oh, child,
Your back is straight;
Dont let hurt curve it that way."
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.

But I said, "Mama, please take me home;
Cause I cant stand being alone
Cause the pain is shooting down my spine again."
Said, "Daddys feeling sick; oh, I think hes gonna quit."
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.

Sweetness,
On the mouth of your car - ess.
Twilight
Past the stars of that open night.
