quarterflash - the child who raised her mother lyrics
the child who raised her mother peeked inside the door
at her forty year old baby passed out on the floor
and she made her mother breakfast + washed and changed her sheets
went back to bed instead of school and drifted off to sleep
and then she drove away
and then she drove away + drove away
the child who raised her mother made excuses for her mom
lied to friends and teachers + told them, “nothing’s wrong”
and she often fell asleep at school and sometimes she would dream
that her dad came back and picked her up in a magic limousine
and then they drove away
and then she drove away + drove away
above the trees and houses + above the school and cars
far above her mother’s house + among the moon and stars
when the child who raised her mother turned sixteen she was told
that another man would live with them + the house was being sold
so she packed up in the night + took only what she’d need
walked out to her mother’s car and finally turned that key
and then she drove away and then she drove away
