MOTHER TERESA

© rich pagano/BMI

Mother Teresa died today
But not before she pulled you in
To her tangled web of needles and pins
She can’t see the rainbow but
She looks for you
You landed first
Kiss her lips and break the curse

Oh, she’s said
I need to get beside myself
She heard a voice
Said, come on home
It’s all here
But now she’s gone

Mother Teresa died today
but not before she pulled you in
To her tangled web of needles and pins
She can’t find an Angel but
She looks for you
You landed first
Kiss her lips and break the curse


Have you heard the news today
So many trying to run away
They hope to pay
For the short stay
Feed the cat
She ain’t coming back


Mother Teresa died today
but not before she pulled you in
To her tangled web of needles and pins
She can’t find an Angel but
She looks for you
You landed first
Kiss her lips and break the curse


They all suspected you
For taking it to the street
You sat there every Tuesday
Selling yourself as a pillar of
Iron clad sobriety
Behind the door
Of the secret society


Mother Teresa died today
but not before she pulled you in
To her tangled web of needles and pins
She can’t find an Angel but
She looks for you
You landed first
Kiss her lips and break the curse


Life at 100 miles an hour
She couldn’t be what she wanted them to see
She jumped off
To head north
But when she gets there
It’s through the back door

But you are forgiven
Yes, you are forgiven

Mother Teresa died today
You landed first
Kiss her lips and break the curse
