It used to be warm here, now it’s cold It used to be easy, so I’m told Man it’s not right It just isn’t sensible, we should be sensual But we’re just cold The windows are streaming, the heating’s on We should be comfortable, what’s gone wrong? Man it’s not right Is it a ritual, is it something habitual? Turn out the light, turn up the heat Don’t walk tonight, bring on the dreams I used to be certain, now I don’t know What am I saying, what do I know? Man it’s not right It isn’t just physical, man I feel pitiful Not everything easy, is always right Not everything painful, is a bad sign Man it’s not right Is should be pleasing you, instead of just screaming at you Turn out the light, turn up the heat Don’t walk tonight, don’t fear the dreams Turn out the light, turn up the heat Don’t walk tonight, don’t fear the dreams

Stop pushing man you know you keep pushing if you if you keep pushing gonna push me away I'm lying man you know I keep on trying but I keep trying and it just doesn't change I got nothing to say nothing to do but look at you and sigh Stop talking man you know you keep talking but you keep talking when theres nothing to say I'll listen man you know I'm gonna listen and you think that thats a reason to talk all day I got nothing to say nothing to do but look at you and say quiet cos I was sleeping well it sounds like a herd of elephants ran thru here ran thru here quiet cos I dont wanna hear you I been working all day and night so wont you leave me be leave me be youre hurtin well you say you been hurtin well big deal cos I'm hurtin too what you gotta understand is that everybody's hurting man I swear its true I got nothing to say nothing to do but look at you and say

Mama don’t feel like coming out any more I done moved away and closed the door And I don’t feel the way I thought I would anymore One of these days I’m gonna open up my mind Although I’ve tried before I’ve always been blind And I’m not feeling quite as good anymore But I’m trying Don’t give up child, don’t give it up now I still love you, I’m thinking of you And you ain’t wasting your time Mama don’t care to see her children in pain And I can’t hide it so I won’t go home again But if I work real hard and I try real hard and I heal my soul Then I’m gonna come running What mama don’t know about can’t amount to that much And every time I think she’s lost her touch She can blow me away with a single word and it sets me right again So I better start listening Mama, can you hear me? I’m coming home
