Slide through the back door with your life strings attached
I can see the heavens on my back
Can't see for miles, open your eyes
Can't see what I'm living for, my head so high

Slip through the back door with my head in your hands
Well I might not see the morning, but I got no plans
Can't see for miles and I can't open my eyes
Well I can't see what I'm living for, head so high

Sway slow, stay low

Mama, take your cool hand away from me
Take it away and let me be
Mama, take your cool love away from me
Take it away and let me bleed in peace

Slide through the back door with your life strings attached
I can walk the heavens on my back
I can see for miles and miles, ain't that grand?
I might not see the morning, but I got no plans

Slip through the back door with my head in your hands
I've seen so many things that my mum won't believe
This life sure is weird, but what else have I to know
I've done so many things that my folks don't wanna know about
Sway slow, stay low

Hey mama, take your cool hand away from me
Take it away and let me be
Hey mama, take your cool love away from me
Take it away and let me bleed in peace

This life sure is weird, but what else have I to know
