lyrics

Lipstick red upon the wall
Granny I know that’s not all
Did you lose yr teeth again
Or was it just your mind?
Was it just your teeth?
We can chatter all we want
About the place you used to haunt
We’ll go back with out darkest hands
And write our names on that old fence

You said you could never be
A mother to someone like me
You said I could never be
The daughter I used to be
And all the cherries we used to eat
Met their fate on George Washington’s tree
And all the cookies we used to bake
Burned like mother at the stake

You said you could never be
A mother to someone like me
You said you could never be
A mother, a mother!

Lipstick red upon the wall
Granny I know that’s not all
Let’s take a walk down memory lane
Put on yr coat I’ll get yr cane
We can chatter all we want
About the place you used to haunt
We’ll pretend that we’re still there
And I’ll comb the webs out of your hair

Chorus Repeats
