COTTON MATHER - HOTEL BALTIMORE
LOST MY MOTTO
She s on the payroll of the Vatican Bank,
But she works in an American book store and her husband is the Byzantine type,
I asked her what she had to do at St Mike s
She said "I came here trying to remember something but I m only in it now for the wine"
Her daddy doesn t run the store and what s more he gets no confession from me
I Lost My Motto, I Lost My Motto
She expects no optical illusions from me, not that she doesn t give me plenty to witness
It s just I don t know how to part the red sea
I don t want to be in his morality play, he thinks that marriage is a good institution
So let him find a girl to keep it that way
It might make it better that he s bad to her but I don t know what s happened to my boundaries
I Lost My Motto, I Lost My Motto, I Lost My Motto
And I don t think this is an issue with god
When it comes to the law I wouldn t think I m a purist
You cant break something that doesn t work anymore
And now I m seeing my life like a tourist
We took a taxi to a their summer retreat, we changed the locks and the points of access
We didn t go to the front door for a week
I found a volume by the side of their bed, I said "I ve read it I m awaiting the sequel"
She gave me "Under The Volcano" instead
And said "Now what was that you lost?" and I said "not too much just my fortune cookie"
BABY FREEZE QUEEN
Bring yourself to sleep and maybe I can help you find
Something so naive it makes you cry
Everything we thought was deep turned out to be a lie
Don t blame me coz I ve been on your side
Can you hear me can you read me
Baby freeze Queen
Can you hear me can you read me
Baby freeze Queen
