Phantom of the American Mother Lyrics
watch this picture blow
it makes you wonder
bless this broken low
it takes time to explain to you
that underneath your skin is mother dear
and if you paint your face again you'll disappear
how you gonna feel
if superman and sonic youth are fairy tales?
its time to face the truth
you'll throw your life away
as a woman dressed as baby jane
like a phantom of the american mother
and it's here again
and it's here like a phantom of the american mother
all that you're concealing are the things that are good in you
and you do
and you're still abandoning the news
now there's a sinking look in your eyes
like black holes in the sky
and every time you moved I realized
everything in you was hypnotized
how you gonna feel
if superman and sonic youth are fairy tales?
its time to face the truth
you walked the hall of fame
a woman dressed as baby jane
like a phantom of the american mother
it's here again
and it's here again like a phantom of the american mother
so here it is, you needed proof
there's no rock n' roll parade for you
its time to face the truth
like a phantom of the american mother
it's here again
like a phantom of the american mother
it makes you wonder
bless this broken low
it takes time to explain to you
that underneath your skin is mother dear
and if you paint your face again you'll disappear
if superman and sonic youth are fairy tales?
its time to face the truth
you'll throw your life away
as a woman dressed as baby jane
like a phantom of the american mother
and it's here again
and it's here like a phantom of the american mother
and you do
and you're still abandoning the news
now there's a sinking look in your eyes
like black holes in the sky
and every time you moved I realized
everything in you was hypnotized
if superman and sonic youth are fairy tales?
its time to face the truth
you walked the hall of fame
a woman dressed as baby jane
like a phantom of the american mother
it's here again
and it's here again like a phantom of the american mother
there's no rock n' roll parade for you
its time to face the truth
like a phantom of the american mother
it's here again
like a phantom of the american mother

Catherine Wheel gets more respect in America than they do in the UK. If you don't believe me, ask Rob.
this is one of the greatest songs ever written. if you've never ehard it, you're missing out. it's a shame that a band as good as catherine wheel gets no respect in america. they're great. let's all open our eyes to stuff beyond mtv and the u.s. borders. let's kill pop while we're at it, too.
They do need more recognition here. And killing pop = the best idea I've heard in a long time, hehe
I'm kinda surprised this song has the most comments of any of theirs, because I still don't really get the point of the lyrics. Oh well.
how does this song have more comments than 'black metallic'? that's really weird.
