Jared Morris - Oyster Mother

Your mother's a cold fish
Your father's an odd duck
Make sure you're so very clean
Bath-time lasts half a day

Could it be why you're blue
Don't mention that your abused
Even in your sleep
The only place out of reach

How much does the house your were born in determine
Who you are is that an excuse for you
To act like you are permanently hurt and
Lash out when someone gets close to you

Your mothers sister's a flake
Your only role model after all
You baked it in a very large cake
And hid the crumbs under the cabinets

Your mothers a plate of clams
Your father's got a dead handshake
Could I even tell you where I am
Would it matter?

Along came a snake and you baked it a cake for Easter
You put the fruit it offered in a pie and
4 and 20 blackbirds were evicted
I still hear the song they sang, Diane

Your grandfather is looking sort of ill
I took you behind the funeral home
Your sister belongs in a zoo
After all the aping she does of you

Your dad is bad egg
And you're a rotten dish of spoiled Christmas ham
Make sure the neighbors never see
The secret stuffs that boiled in the pan

How much does the house your were born in determine
Who you are is that an excuse for you
To act like you are permanently hurt and
Lash out when someone gets close to you

Along came a snake and you baked it a cake for Easter
You put the fruit it offered in a pie and
4 and 20 blackbirds were evicted
I still hear the song they sang, Diane
