looking for home, looking for a corner

where I can write alone, words for my mother

and how I came through, kicking and screaming

smack that little ass doctor, make sure baby feels it



daddy wonders if she'll ever wake from her dream of

big bright stars, and she wants to be the biggest one

look at our baby there, up on the stage

come back baby come, back home to me



if I could I'd tell you when I'm coming back again

I wish I could tell you, I was coming back again

if I could I'd tell you when I'm coming back again

I wish I could tell you I was coming 

if I can ever come back again



dirty child, cover your black eyes

we'll feed you water and fix you up inside

we'll hide you here and get you out of that dirty business

those damn fools they nearly took our baby from us



daddy wonders if she'll ever wake from her dreams of

big bright stars, and she wants to be the biggest one

look at our baby there, up on the stage

come back baby come, back home to me



if I could tell you I was coming back again

I wish I could tell you I'm coming back again

if I could I'd tell you when I'm coming back again

I wish I could tell you I'm coming 

if I can ever come back again



you can't make it go, you can't make it stop

and you can't put out a fire, if it's burning hot!!



daddy tell me, if I'll ever wake from this dream of

big bright stars and I wanna to be the biggest

take a look at your baby, ain't she pretty on the stage

come back baby, come back home to me



I wish I could come back again

mamma, poppa, you'll never know how bad! 

if I could tell you I'm coming back again

I would tell you I'm coming 

if I am ever coming back again
