My Mom Lyrics

My Mom ? Chocolate Genius
They got five televisions in a house built for three
Look upon that fake fireplace,
you know the bucktoothed boy is me
See that wood paneled room? That's where I learned to drink
You see that hole in the wall? That was seagrams I think
And that tree was a goal post,
that bathroom it was a shroud
That closet it was a phone booth,
and that mirror it was a crowd
See that guy with the bad knees
and his heart on his sleeve?
Watch him slip me ten dollars
when it comes time to leave...
It's been five years and some change
and this world is gettin' so strange
but this house smells just the same
And my mom,
My sweet mom,
She don't remember my name
My mom
She can't remember my name,
Not my mom
I sit on her bed, and I kiss her right behind the ear
she calls out for a dog that's been dead for a year
I say "How is it going?" just like I didn't know
I hold on to both of her hands too afraid to let her go
And five times exactly, no more and no less,
she says "How you been eatin', boy?"
and I say "Ok, I guess"
In this room where she made me, each day she grows weak
She flips on the Golden Girls
and the first tear hits my cheek
It's been five years and some change
and this world is gettin' so strange
but this house smells just the same
And my mom,
My sweet mom,
She don't remember my name
My mom
Can't remember my name,
She's my mom now
she can't remember my name
My mom can't remember my name
My mom
