[LYDIA]
Mamma would take her foot off the gas on the way back home
On the way back home from school
Slip it in neutral on the top of a hill
And away we'd roll
No breaking 'cause breaking was breaking the rules

Mamma could roleplay like nobody else
Pretend we were birds and make nests in the house
One time she spat chewed-up food in my mouth
She was free
She was ev'rything mothers should be

And when nobody else bеlieved in me
Mamma would

Mamma would nеver accept things just the way they were
Mamma would always see so much more
Like the way she would say "we're being chased by a murderer!"
As she fumbled for the keys to the door

Mamma was serious about hide and seek
One time she managed to hide for a week
Didn't come out 'til we called the police
She was wild
She knew just what to say to a child
