Bm
Go, go, go, go now
F#m
Out of the nest, it?s time
Bm
Go, go, go now
Em F#m Bm
Circus girl without a safety net
 
Bm
Here, here now don?t cry
Em F#m
You raised your hand for assignment
 Bm
Tuck those ribbons under
F#m Bm
Your helmet and be a good soldier
 
Bm G
First my left foot then my right
Em
Behind the other
Bm
Pantyhose running
Em
In the cold
 
F#m
Mother the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Bm Em
Green Limousine for the redhead
G Em
Dancing, dancing girl
F#m
And when I dance for him
Bm
Somebody leave the light on
Em G
Just in, just in case I like the dancing
Bm Em F#m Bm 
I can remember where I come from

Bm
I walked into your dream
Em F#m 
And now I?ve forgotten
Bm
How to dream my own dream
Em F#m
You are the clever one, aren?t you?
 
Bm 
Brides in veils for you
Em F#m
We told you all of our secrets
Bm
All but one and don?t  you even try
Em F#m
The phone has been disconnected

Bm Em
Dripping with blood and with time
F#m
And with your advice
Bm 
Poison me
                F#m
Against the moon
 
F#m
Mother the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Bm Em
Black chariot for the redhead
G Em
Dancing, dancing girl
F#m
He's gonna change my name
Am
Maybe you'll leave the light on
Em G
Just in, just in case I like the dancing
Bm Em F#m Bm 
I can remember where I come from

Bm
I escape into your escape into
Em F#m
Our very favorite fearscape
It?s across the sky and across my heart
Em
And I cross my legs oh my God
Bm G
First my left foot then my right
Em
Behind the other
Bm 
Breadcrumbs lost
                Em
Under the snow
 
F#m
Mother, mother the car is here, here
Bm
Maybe, maybe you?ll leave the light on
Em
Father, father, father dancing girl
F#m
He?s gonna change my name
Am
Maybe you?ll leave the light
Bm Em F#m Bm 
I can remember where I come from


F#m 
Mother, mother, mother
