lyrics

A Bee in her Mouth

I got a 55 oldsmobile
Jes’ like the song sings
Got a miracle baby on the way

Spent the nights getting colder
Mall parking lot
Twenty weeks away and twenty to go

We’ll smoke it wet
Just one more time
I’ve got her problem and she has mine
With a bee in her mouth and bird in her womb

Know it really changed her
Just growing up this way
Always making shift a manger from cars and clay

Got a miracle baby
Or so this song sings
Jes’ caught a bird in a teapot with golden wings

Can it make you whole?
Can a baby make you whole?
