Mama Never Said… that what ya don’t know tastes like honey (voice somewhere)

so ya a bored pretty girl with shallow swimmin’ eyes

mama never taught ya ‘bout ta-morrow

mama was cursin’ ‘long with the blues guitar

so ya a naked little thing are ya?

mama never taught ya that bare skin always hides

mama never cared to show ya that ya heart can’t cry

not proper

like

not like that

ya see-

it be in the intention

time blaze burns out those subtle bedroom lies

little girl thighs

ya gonna age precious one

ya gonna wither

mama never taught ya that all things pass

ya can't hold on to a perfect thing

not a clean shaved patch

not a tight snatch

not a skinned knee

not a sparkly gem

not a favorite poem

not a dirty whisper

we die

that body does

she didn’t tell ya did she?

ya can't make makin’ love fix what mama never gave ya

‘cuz mama gazed away high

turn ya head weary bombshell

ya ain’t a superstar

ya an aging flasher

high in ya own reflection

let your bird wings out

let your feather hair blow

mama never taught ya

mama never taught ya

what you need to know

star light is yours

beyond the flash of a hunter’s knife

don’t cut ya-self -up-

-just look up

& GAZZZZZZE in

mama never taught ya `bout the sky

mama never taught ya that ya pretty little body is gonna die

mama never taught ya

what ya needed to know
