Alone, in selected company
Keep my mother close to me
I can't really be
Alone, unless she's in the other room
Solitude will never do
Unless mama's in the next room
Tread overhead, words overheard
Tread overhead, words overheard
Keep my mother close to me
I can't really be
Below, your footsteps over me
No, this can't be that good for me
Living undernŠµath your home
No light from no windows
Like a dog that fell into a holŠµ
While she was digging up her bones, oh no
Tread overhead, words overheard
Tread overhead, words overheard
Keep my mother close to me
I can't really be
Alone
My favourite song is the one
That you're singing in the next room
Harmonizing with the vacuum
Every shalalala, every woah-oh-woah ohh
Tread overhead, words overheard
I'm still in bed, you're out in the world
Tread overhead, words overheard
Coulda been a ballerina but she's treading on my head
Tread overhead, words overheard
Keep my mother close to me
Tread overhead, words overheard
I'm still in bed, you're out in the world
I can't really be
Alone
Tread overhead, words overheard
Tread overhead, words overheard
Keep my mother close to me
I can't really be
Alone
