Nat Lefkoff - Momma Lyrics

Thank God for the zoo
It taught me everything I knew
About staying wild inside of a snow globe
Open up the cage doors, put your kids in
That's the only place for them, huh?
Momma, protect my feeling
I'm still a child and it's late in the evening
Can you remember when the night was easier
Momma, shotguns rising
What could we know about the love that's hiding
I watch the world coming alive and dying
At the same damn time
Something wild inside us
Thank God for the zoo
It taught me everything I knew
About staying wild inside of a snow globe
Open up the cage doors, put yourself in
That's the only place for ya, huh?
But you don't care for me no more
And heavy lines been drawn down that door
Momma, project my feeling
Upon the needles of the evergreen ceiling
I'm either free or weak and seeking ya
Momma, what's that feeling?
I'll come along if you can feed me reasons
Reasons fall to pieces in the low light leaving you
Momma, I still need you
The mask I made for myself seems see-through
When I'm alone in my head I see you
