Brave Beyond the Call

I asked you for an answer
I wish that you would be
a little more dishonest babe
the truth is bad for me
when last weeks generation
has grown too old to see
you'll be alone and miserable
just like you like to be

in fifty million houses
there's fifty million lies
and fifty million brains avert
a hundred million eyes
you want to be my baby
you want it to be so
well here to you is my advice
if you love it let it go
(what a drag...)

mama's secrets never leaked
and she was brave beyond the call
placed the welfare of her family's illusion
over all
lost in outer space dementia
she'll prevent ya from it all
(runs on ethyl alcohol)

the man has called a meeting
on the fifty-second floor
but meetings bring me down
so I ain't going to them no more
some people's never sated
there's always something more
they've given up their bodies like a
drug-addicted whore
(what a drag...)

mama's secrets never leaked
and she was brave beyond the call
placed the welfare of her family's illusion
over all
lost in outer space dementia
she'll prevent ya from it all
(runs on ethyl alcohol)

I asked you for an answer
should have known what was in store
but the answer that you gave me babe
just made me more unsure
what was I looking for
