Mother's Native Instrument

[Intro: Aaron Solowoniuk]

One, two, three, four, five

[Verse 1: Ben Kowalewicz]

I wish I had some thread so I could just sew up your nose

Eternal sleep at least you folded up your clothes

And then you went and you snorted your way off the earth

[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz]

Ha, but why must you always obey when

Ha, there's so much to say and do

And now you're gone, I know it's true

But now the day you died has become just another day

[Post-Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz]

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-dee-ah-dee-ah

Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-dee-ah-dee-ah

Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-dee-ah-dee-ah

Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-dee-ah-dee-ah

Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know

[Verse 2: Ben Kowalewicz]

I wish I had cement so I could just concrete your toes

And then you wouldn't be able to go to shows

Then I'd keep you, and I'd have you all to myself

[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz]

Ha, but why must you carry the weight when

Ha, there's so much to say and do?

And now you're gone, I know it's true

But now the day you died has become just another day

[Post-Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz]

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-dee-ah-dee-ah

Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-dee-ah-dee-ah

Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-dee-ah-dee-ah

Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-dee-ah-dee-ah

Ha, but I guess, I guess we'll never know

[Bridge: Ben Kowalewicz]

Boom!

But you've been stolen away

But you've been stolen away

But you've been stolen away

But you've been stolen away

[Outro: Ben Kowalewicz (with Ian D'Sa)]

But I really don't want you to

And all those words you said were true

Oh, but I guess we'll never

We'll never know, we'll never know

We'll never know, we'll never know

We'll never know, we'll never know

We'll never know, we'll never know

Know-know-know-know-know-know-know-know

Know-know-know-know-know-know-know-know!

Know-know-know-know-know-know-know-know

Know-know-know-know-know-know-know-know!
