White Lies - Mother Tongue lyrics
[White Lies - Mother Tongue lyrics]
The city stays high all night
Lit up and shimmered like a
Pinball table of fire flies
An echo of home on the edge of life
Shot through the veins of an angel
And the devil in exile
But if you have forgotten
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother would
Say of what you've done
And if you can't remember the
Place you call a home
Or having trouble placing who's
Calling on the phone
Who's calling on the phone
Digging those with the cards
And the sugar lines and to the desert of the
Cinnamon hells of moonshine
He said, "What can I do to make you mine?"
Kiss out the twang through my lips on
The way to the big time
But if you have forgotten
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother would
Say of what you've done
And if you can't remember the
Place you call a home
Or having trouble placing who's
Calling on the phone
Who's calling on the phone
Forgot your mother tongue
Forgot your mother tongue
Forgot your mother tongue
Forgot your mother tongue
But if you have forgotten
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother would
Say of what you've done
And if you can't remember the
Place you call a home
Or having trouble placing who's
Calling on the phone
But if you have forgotten
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother would
Say of what you've done
And if you can't remember the
Place you call a home
Or having trouble placing who's
Calling on the phone
Lit up and shimmered like a
Pinball table of fire flies
An echo of home on the edge of life
Shot through the veins of an angel
And the devil in exile
But if you have forgotten
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother would
Say of what you've done
And if you can't remember the
Place you call a home
Or having trouble placing who's
Calling on the phone
Who's calling on the phone
Digging those with the cards
And the sugar lines and to the desert of the
Cinnamon hells of moonshine
He said, "What can I do to make you mine?"
Kiss out the twang through my lips on
The way to the big time
But if you have forgotten
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother would
Say of what you've done
And if you can't remember the
Place you call a home
Or having trouble placing who's
Calling on the phone
Who's calling on the phone
Forgot your mother tongue
Forgot your mother tongue
Forgot your mother tongue
Forgot your mother tongue
But if you have forgotten
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother would
Say of what you've done
And if you can't remember the
Place you call a home
Or having trouble placing who's
Calling on the phone
But if you have forgotten
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother would
Say of what you've done
And if you can't remember the
Place you call a home
Or having trouble placing who's
Calling on the phone
