(Hello you've reached the afterlife message center.

Mama's gone and got herself a new man

It's a shame,

He's the same

Mama please please, stop pretending

This time, you won't end in tears

I find myself, with a new daddy

My mama needs love you see

Guess she don't wanna be lonely



And nobody's keeping score

I don't say hi to those guys no more

Said mama can't you feel me

Holding my breath as they knock, knock, knock on our door



You're just taking your ass to the top of that building

Throwing yourself under cars and trains

Taking the pill that you know will kill you

Under the wheels,

The same, the same....



Johnny's gone and got himself a new man

He gets laid, every day

Johnny please please, stop pretending

This time, may just end in tears

Take care of yourself

Because you won't find 'daddy'

When you're popping those pills

Oh Johnny, is the danger just part of the thrill?



And nobody's keeping score

Johnny those guys that you shake it for

I said "Johnny can't you hear them

Saying mama knows best as they knock, knock,

knock on your door"



You're just taking your ass to the top of that building

Throwing yourself under cars and trains

Taking the pill that you know will kill you

Under the wheels, the same, the same



Taking your ass to the top of that building

Throwing yourself under cars and trains

Taking the pill that you know will kill you

Under the wheels, wheels, wheels



Taking your ass to the top of that building

Under cars and trains

Taking the pill that you know will kill you

The same, the same, the same...



Pretty girl, little girl, what were you thinking

Just 18 at the time

You were a mother and child, at the same time

You were a mother and child

So young and fucked up baby

Always higher than a child should see...

Forgive me



To the top of that building

Under cars and trains

Taking the pill that you know will kill you

Under the wheels, wheels, wheels



Mama don't you let him stay



From bastard to loser, hurt you, used you in every way,

Mama, don't let him stay, please

Don't let him stay



I said Jesus, Mary, and the Saints above,

Won't you show him love?



I said Jesus, Mary, and the Saints above,

Won't you show him love?
