The Writer/Producer/Director and His Mother

My sofa was never made for sleeping on
I was completely unaware that you would shave your beard
at dinner

The color of your hair
is fading quickly
is fading quickly

It looks like the conversation is animated
but she's not saying anything
It looks like the conversation is one sided
'cause he's saying everything

I could win the lottery
if I wanted to
If I wanted to
I could stop all of this
if I had the guts to

Drive away
Drive away
Please please forget me
I don't want to hear your name in this house anymore

The wine is almost gone
Don't worry
The waiter will bring us some more

The night is almost dead
Please don't correct me
and say that the day has just begun

It looks like the conversation is animated
but she's not saying anything
It looks like the conversation is one sided
'cause he's saying everything

I could win the lottery
if I wanted to
If I wanted to
I could stop all of this
If I had the guts to

Drive away
Drive away
Please please forget me
I don't want to hear your name in this house anymore

Her dress is slipping
from her bony shoulders
There's nothing I can do for you
There's nothing I can do for you

You are just an old woman
What could I learn from you
Nothing
Nothing
That's right

It looks like the conversation is animated
but she's not saying anything
It looks like the conversation is one sided
'cause he's saying everything

I could win the lottery
if I wanted to
If I wanted to
I could stop all of this
If I had the guts to
If I had the guts to

The night is young
You are so old

Drive away
Drive away
Please please forget me
I don't
I don't want to hear
I don't want to hear your name
I don't want to hear your name in this house anymore
