Goldie's Torn Locks

Little boy, I see you ran away again
Press your luck inside your momma's shoes
You'll be out dancing down at the lion's den
I guess you didn't have a thing to lose

I know it's hard sleeping on those streets
It's better than your daddy's floor
All the drivers learned the secrets in your sheets
You knew what they were looking for

I don't remember when I stopped dreaming
All my imaginary friends are gone
Lock the door because dad's been drinking
Child, your momma's never coming home

Oh my God, what have you done?

I'm seeing children seeing things
That I think children shouldn't see
Boy, you look just like your mother
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm seeing children seeing things
That I think children shouldn't see
Boy, you look just like your mother
Yeah

Mom, I guess I feel alive up in their seats
I love to hear them say I look like you
I'll win the heart of every broken man I meet
Now momma tell me, what's a girl to do?

I am the daughter of 18 wheelers
The sister of your broken heart
I am the goddess of the street healers
I am the lover that you tore apart

Oh my God, what have I done?

I'm seeing children seeing things
That I think children shouldn't see
Boy, you look just like your mother
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm seeing children seeing things
That I think children shouldn't see
Boy, you look just like your mother
Yeah

"We the flesh eating predators
Of the house of dogs
Protect our own"

I'm seeing children seeing things
that I think children shouldn't see
Boy, you look just like your mother
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm seeing children seeing things
that I think children shouldn't see
Boy, you look just like your mother
Yeah

I'm seeing children seeing things
that children shouldn't see
Would you love me like my mother?

Well, I am the child who
The only child who
I am the child who
I am the child who saw everything
