Story Behind The Song

"Nocturna" was our local coffeehouse, and quite a few goths hung out there. I wrote this for them

Song Description

Fairly raucous rock.

Lyrics

Back in the summer when your parents had that break-up
You were the girl next door
Then something creepy kinda happened with your make-up
And black was all you wore

Now you mumble and you stumble
Questioning your worth
Cause you do not feel that comfortable
On good old mother earth
Mother earth

Heard all about the way they've blown you off in high school
Just goes to show somehow
Seems like they always had your number back in my school
It's still the same way now

And we mumbled and we stumbled
Questioning our birth
Cause we did not feel that comfortable
On good old mother earth
Mother earth

Well I can see how you could be a bit blase'
What makes you think you want a clone's life anyway?
It's lunacy, I say

Back on the planet where we're serving out our time, child
I'll tell you what I've found
Mad dogs and aliens, and angels in our minds, child
They make the world go 'round

As we mumble and we stumble, questioning our worth
Cause we do not feel that comfortable
On good old mother earth
Mother earth
On mother earth
Mother earth
