Mother Mother – O My Heart lyrics

O my heart
It's a fish out of water
O my heart
It's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun
O my heart
It's a rock in the gutter
O my heart
It's a rocky grey boulder and it's stuck in the gutter

And I throw
My heart back to the ocean
But it don't go far
It comes back floating
And I watch it
Float up with the dead fish
But it ain't quite dead
It just is lifeless

O my heart
It's a house in tornado
O my heart
It's a house in the sky in the eye of tornado
O my heart
It's a roof in el nino
O my heart it's a roof made of straw in the jaw of el nino

And I pour
My heart a new foundation
But it don't set hard
It just stays shaking
And I scratch my name
I scrath my name in
But it don't set hard
It gets mixed back in

Bo ba bum
Bo ba bum
Ba ba bum
Bum
Bo ba bum
Bo ba bum
Bo ba bum
Bo ba bum
Bo ba bum
Bo ba bum

Oh my heart
It's a fish out of water
O my heart
It's a rock in the gutter
O my heart
It's a black in a rainbow
O my heart
It's so damn cold
So damn cold

And I throw
My heart into the fire
'Cause I want
To set my heart on fire
And I watch it
Touch the friendly embers
But the ice don't melt
In mid December

O my heart
It's a fish out of water
O my heart
It's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad
Sun
