Mother Brain's tears fall down her case

[DickNixonArisen]

----------------------

With the money from her accident

She bought herself a mobile home

So at least she could get some enjoyment out of being alone

No one could say that she was left up on the shelf

"It's you and me against the world, kid", she mumbled to herself

 

When the world falls apart some fings stay in place

Levi Stubb's tears run down his face

 

She ran away from home with her Mother's best coat

She was married before she was even entitled to vote

And her husband was one of those blokes

The sort that only laughs at his own jokes

The sort that war takes away

And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway

 

When the world falls apart, some fings stay in place

Levi Stubb's tears run down his face

 

Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong

Are here to make right everything that's wrong

Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too

Are here to make it all okay with you

 

And one dark night he came home from the sea

And put a hole in her body where no hole should be

It hurt her more to see him walking out the door

And though they stitched her back together

They left her heart in pieces on the floor

 

When the world falls apart, some fings stay in place

She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case

 

-----------------------------

Now you feel that you can't go on

Because all your hope is gone

And your life is filled with confusion

And happiness is just an illusion

And your world comes tumbling down

Darling, reach out

Reach out, for me.

I'll be there...

Shut up, you mental midget!
