Lyrics

Mother of the World

[Instrumental: 0:00 - 4:40]

[Chorus]

In and out and in and out again

In and out and in and out again

[Verse]

And where are you now

O Mother of the world?

Ah we feed from your hands

And we drink from your filth and your oil

So send them down

To scrape and suck the soil

Keep us safe inside

Your damp and rusty coil

[Chorus]

In and out and in and out again

In and out and in and out again

Mother sun, mother of senseless things

Mother come, kill time as it begins
