Momma, hold on

Momma, hold on

Walls been being put up

All around, all around

Momma, hold on

Been trying hard to keep you

Above ground, still alive and well

In this old world

Momma, hold on

Now not too much longer

I can feel you getting stronger

Eyes once closing into eternity slits

Please tell me that you’re getting stronger

Assure me this waiting casket no longer fits you

Oh momma hold on, hold on

For the present, for the apparent

Momma hold on, hold on to me

Rogue velvet with Scorpio on the ascendant

I’m still an infant, spoiled inside your arms

We need to be defiant, I will always protect you from harm

Charm bracelet, memories in die cast ringed around it

My prized, my favorite… it’s always a distant recollection

I need to know how I can acquire it

My momma, dear sweet momma

Oh momma hold on, hold on

For the present, for the apparent

Momma hold on, hold on to me

Rogue velvet horizon with Scorpio on the ascendant

Can I play God, can I pretend I’m magic and sorcery?

A hundred million dollar check to sign, but it’s only forgery

Oh momma hold on, hold on

For the present, for the apparent

Momma hold on, hold on to me

Rogue velvet horizon with Scorpio on the ascendant

Momma, hold on

Momma, hold on, the message coming through
