Somersault

Mother, you know I'm all that I can be
You think I'm difficult because I've changed into something you can't see
Mother, you are the kindest person I know
and I can see the girl in you
and I can see her craving for love

But I am fighting demonds
I'm fighting them along the path I used to walk
I'm sorry if I let you down
but I don't have much time for all that baby talk
I phone you up once in a while
and I just want you know... I love you so
You see, I'm late now, so I have to go
they want me to put on a hell of a show

The first thing I remember
well it was a giraffe
and my late great grandmothers laugh
we used to shoot the lake-creatures in two
you see I got memories
but they are so few

I feel the reaper awaits me
he is whistling
and I have seen him between the bottles and the Cuban cigares
I hope to be as healthy as a cuecumber
I want to be there when everyone expects me to
It will be lovely
You and me
Oh you and me..
