Go, go, go, go now
Out of the nest, it's time
Go, go, go now
Circus girl without a safety net

Here, here now, don't cry
You raised your hand for the assignment
Tuck those ribbons under your helmet
Be a good soldier
First my left foot
Then my right behind the other
Pantyhose
Running in the cold

Mother, the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Green limousine for the redhead
Dancing, dancing girl 
And when I dance for him
Somebody leave the light on 
Just in, just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come from

I walked into your dream
And now I've forgotten how to dream my own dream
You are the clever one, aren't you?
Brides in veils for you
We told you all of our secrets, all but one
And don't you even try

The phone has been disconnected
Dripping with blood and with time
And with your advice
Poison me against the moon

Mother the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Black Chariot for the redhead
Dancing, dancing girl 

He's gonna change my name
Maybe you'll leave the light on 
Just in, just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come from

I escape into your escape
Into our very favorite fearscape
It's across the the sky and across my heart
And I cross my legs, oh my God

First my left foot
Then my right behind the other
Breadcrumbs lost under the snow

Mother, mother the car is here
Maybe, maybe, you'll leave the light on
Father, father, father, dancing girl
He's gonna change my name
Maybe you'll leave the light on
Just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come, come from

Mother, mother, mother
