A yellow bird sits on my knee It says "Hello, I am reincarnated mother" She was dead picking the poisoned flower From the shelf of her wayward children We have no way of knowing right from wrong We will go on living as rebellious bird daughters Flitting from heart to heart Seeking shelter in men's broken parts Crying when we cannot start Laughing when we finish money Eating away our sadness Motherless daughters without any stress Trading our mother's feathers for a new dress

Motherless
A yellow bird sits on my knee It says "Hello, I am reincarnated mother" She was dead picking the poisoned flower From the shelf of her wayward children We have no way of knowing right from wrong We will go on living as rebellious bird daughters Flitting from heart to heart Seeking shelter in men's broken parts Crying when we cannot start Laughing when we finish money Eating away our sadness Motherless daughters without any stress Trading our mother's feathers for a new dress
