In all the reaching and wanting, we may forget what we have.

lyrics

Mother Of Invention
1. Oh, what a pretty thing it is
I’ve been looking for it all my life
All my life I’ve been looking for this thing that I see
And here it now is, and I don’t know what to do with it.
And I…feel like I’m gonna break it
Or put it away and forget about it

Oh what a tragedy that would be
I feel like I am supposed to be
The mother of a new invention

I never built no bicycle
I never got no horse
I never got no locomotive
But I do have YOU of course
I’ve got you of course

2. Train pulls into the station
Train conductor tells me that it’s my stop
The place I longed to be all those years but was not
And here I now am, I don’t know what to do.
I feel I wanna run away
Or get back on that train - take me away!

Oh what a tragedy that would be
I feel like I am supposed to be
The mother of a new invention

Never gonna say that it hurts
Never gonna cry…
Never gonna say how it hurts cuz…Here am I here am I
