Lyrics
[Verse 1] Where in hell can you go Far from the things that you know Far from the sprawl of concrete That keeps crawling its way About one thousand miles a day? [Verse 2] Take one last look behind Commit this to memory and mind Don't miss this wasteland This terrible place, when you leave Keep your heart off your sleeve [Chorus] Motherland, cradle me Close my eyes Lullaby me to sleep Keep me safe Lie with me Stay beside me Don't go Don't you go [Verse 2] Oh, my five-and-dime queen Tell me what have you seen? The lust and the avarice The bottomless, the cavernous greed Is that what you see? [Chorus] Motherland, cradle me Close my eyes Lullaby me to sleep Keep me safe Lie with me Stay beside me Don't go [Verse 3] It's your happiness I want most of all And for that, I'd do anything at all, o mercy me! If you want the best of it or the most of all If there's anything I can do at all Now come on, shotgun bride What makes me envy your life? Faceless, nameless, innocent, blameless, and free What's that like to be? [Chorus] Motherland, cradle me Close my eyes Lullaby me to sleep Keep me safe Lie with me Stay beside me Don't go Don't you go
