My mother's sleeping
I touch her face
The nose is a mountain
The mouth is lake

Then she awakes
A friend's on the phone
I ask who God is
But she doesn't know
I ask who the boss is
She says: Me

And like the deer in the movie
Although I'm grown
I know that someday
I'll be alone

I put some cash on the table
Bought me some time
Haven't been to the mountains
In quite for a while

Still I'm walking the streets
Without touching the lines
Time is thread and yours is
Attached to mine

Went out to the movies
They jump in time
It's the place where dead
Come back to life

Then I awake
A friend's on the phone
I ask who God is
But she doesn't know

You've got the spleen
And I've got the drive
You've got the spleen
I got the drive

And like the deer in the movie
Although I'm grown
I know that someday
I'll be alone
