"Mama" lyrics

"Mama"

Cigarettes and coke
Keeping me afloat
She don't want the memories
And neither do I
I want you to forget me
Promise you'll try

Mama, I think you're too drunk to drive
But some other time we should go for a ride

Why am I so heavy when I could be light?
I want you to forget me
Promise you'll try

Jamie calls me up
Says I'm the only boy they trust
That's a lot of pressure
But Jamie I got your back
Besides, pressure makes a diamond
My dad taught me that

Mama, I think you're too drunk to drive
But some other time we should go for a ride

Why am I so heavy (Why am I so shy?)
When I could be light? (Why am I so shy?)
I want you to forget me (Why am I so shy?)
Promise you'll try

My own flesh and bone
Wants to eat me alive
Yeah, I know that you won't
But I hope that you might
All the same
All the same
I'm ashamed wide awake

Mama, I think we're too young to die
Slow dancing right on the edge of a knife

And why am I so heavy (Why am I so shy?)
When I could be light? (Why am I so shy?)
Veronica or Betty? (Why am I so shy?)
I'm one lucky guy
