Everything's fine

[Riff1x4]
Mother mother, how's the family
I'm just calling to say hello
how's the weather, how's my father
am I lonely, heavens, no. 

Mother mother, are you listening
just a phonecall, to ease your mind
life is perfect, never better
distance making the heart grow blind.

[Riff2x4]
When you sent me off to see the world
were you scared that I might get hurt
would I try a little tobacco
would i keep on hikin' up my skirt

[Chorusx2]
I'm hungry
I'm dirty
I'm losing my mind
EVERYTHING'S FINE

I'm freezing
I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death
EVERYTHING'S FINE

[Riff1x4]
Yeah I'm working, making money
I'm just starting to build a name
I can feel it 'round the corner
I could make it any day

Mother mother, can you hear me
sure I'm sober, sure I'm sane
life is perfect, never better
still your daughter, still the same

[Riff2x4]
If I tell you what you wanna hear
Will it help you to sleep well at night
Are ya sure that I'm your perfect dear
Now just cuddle up and sleep tight

[Chorusx2]
I'm hungry
I'm dirty
I'm losing my mind
EVERYTHING'S FINE

I'm freezing
I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death
EVERYTHING'S FINE

A           A
I miss you, I love you
