Lyrics Paul Shapera - Mother

Mother:
Come and kiss your mother
It’s been a long time come
Since your species up and left me
Ah, but i don’t hold a grudge

My sweets, i am the mother
Of all of your sad kind
I birthed you, what dark, frightful games
We played once you and i

This is my Red Realm
Here i am Queen
though i have siblings
i doubt you’ll ever meet

and they have their Realms
we rarely speak that much
though sometimes we mate, afterwards
we try to eat each other up

…

A very special brother
We copulated once
Your species was the result
The smartest i have spawned

You lived with me millenium
Such sweet games we played
The hunt, the blood, the double cross
The psychodrama escapades

But one day you escaped me
I know that you had help
You all fled and in that cursed
Bubble you’ve since dwelled

My other little monsters
They’re dear to me too
But they can’t play my games with me
Half as good as you

…

So i send youor siblings
Like my tall and slender son
To squirm into that bubble
And bring you back here one by one

You’ve come for sweet old Claire
Who arrived just yesterday
And i’ve not played with nor have eaten her
So i suggest a game

None of you have simply
Walked back into my house
Little ghost and little man
You are something else

Play a game with me my seets
We’ll have a lovely time
You win, you take the girl and go
You lose and you are mine

…

One at a time…. Who’s first? Who’s first, my sweets?

Show respect to Mother
Come kiss me on the mouth
Your life i made, it’s mine to take
When suppertime comes round

Show repsect to Mother
You naughty little sweets,
Now you’ve come home to hang your bones
And snuggle up with me

Show some respect
Respect to mother
Come grovel at my feet

Beg and pleed
Stay my sweets
And play my games with me
