about

The first songwriter recording of the song which was later recorded by Po! on the 1993 Album Ducks and Drakes

lyrics

Mother I want to leave this body far behind
Go for a walk in someone else’s shoes
Going out and kissing the world
With lips that are not mine.

Mother I tried to be what you want of me
Hustle to get me to the church on time
Stepping out in peaches and pearls
And lips that are not mine.

Tickle the tongues that wag.

Mother I want to see the other side to life
Facing the earth not staring at the sky
Going out and kissing the world
With lips that are not mine.
