Mother's Native Instrument

(Album: Watoosh! - 1999)

One, two, three, four, five

I wish I had some thread so I could just sew up your nose
Eternal sleep at least you folded up your clothes
And then you went and you snorted your way off the earth

Ha, but why must you always obey when
Ha, there's so much to say and do
And now you're gone, I know it's true
But now the day you died has become just another day

Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-ay-ay
Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know
Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-ay-ay
Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know
Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-ay-ay
Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know
Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-ay-ay
Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know

I wish I had cement so I could just concrete your toes
And then you wouldn't be able to go to shows
Then I'd keep you and I'd have you all to myself

Ha, but why must you carry the weight when
Ha, there's so much to say and do
And now you're gone, I know it's true
But now the day you died has become just another day

Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-ay-ay
Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know
Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-ay-ay
Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know
Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-ay-ay
Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know
Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-ay-ay
Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know

Boom!
But you've been stolen away
But you've been stolen away
But you've been stolen away
But you've been stolen away

But I really don't want you to
And all those words you said were true
Oh, but I guess we'll never
We'll never know, we'll never know
We'll never know, we'll never know
We'll never know, we'll never know
We'll never know, we'll never know
Know-know-know-know-know-know-know-know
Know-know-know-know-know-know-know-know!
Know-know-know-know-know-know-know-know
Know-know-know-know-know-know-know-know!
