lyrics

What would you say my friend,
when the rope is tied and taught?
Your road is comin' to an end,
and your final fights been fought.
What would you do my love
with your Mama in your face?
Maybe you'll give her a shove
and your heart will pick up it's pace.

Your heart will pick up it's pace with yer Mama in your face.

Oh Mama, don't go! Please I'm dyin'.
Oh son! I forgive you, can't you see I'm cryin' I'm cryin', but I'm here, and I won't close my eyes.
I won't close my eyes boy. No, no, no I won't close my eyes.

What does it matter Mama, the black hood is my fate
and on the other side of it the people snarl and wait.
This black hood isn't fake
ANd on thother side of it Mama the people smile and wait.

So Mama, so long! Now I'm leavin', stop heavin'
Send in the clowns, there's nothin' here for you but sadness time madness, so now go...walk away...turn around...there's nothin' to say
