Up North

Do you chew till the day Is as loose as your teeth Till the sand in your shoes Is a muse that you choose 'Cause the kids from your womb are The dirt from your sheets And to know that you're done with You're sewing my sheets 'Cause there came a year when The bones that you're made of The clothes that you made Were not cheaper that way Slow your dance Darling please, slow down, mmm Stop your strutting, mmm Calm those fingers now Ah mmmhmm Ah mmmhmm Do you stare with your eyes And things gone awry You fear that your shadow Will grow when die And the salt of the skin was The stranger within The arms round your knees Are big, can you please Slow your dance Momma please, slow down, mmm Stop your strutting, mmm Calm those fingers now Slow your dance Momma please, slow down, mmm Stop your strutting, mmm Calm those fingers now
