lirik lagu jonatha brooke – what do i know?
[by the summer of 2010, mom was living in an “independent living” facility outside of boston
she was putting on a good show, but she was not safe. i “climbed the castle wall” and broke her out
i am “my mother’s only daughter”]
right foot red and left hand blue
i’m tangled up when you get through
don’t know what the h-ll to do
you tie me up and you tie me down
there’s no way out of this dark town
and you’re all painted like a clown
with a permanent frown
there’s this cold breath on my collar
there’s the dime and there’s the dollar
but i’ll make the call, take the fall, climb the castle wall
i’m my mother’s only daughter
and what do i know?
tell me, tell me
what do i know?
i’m listening now
you ask me “what’s the real return?”
as parades p-ss by and bridges burn
and i say, “nothing ventured? then nothing’s earned”
it’s what i learned
’cause every complicated step, she’d be watching from stage left
and when i’d fall she’d talk me through the rest
what did i know?
tell me, tell me
what did i know?
i’m listening now
the party’s never over here
there’s music blasting in our ears
what the h-ll is ever clear but the ones you hold dear?
and so it goes until the end
we will break and break if we don’t bend
and there’s one more clown that someone sends
and it starts again
what do i know?
tell me, tell me what do i know?
i’m listening now
what do i know?
tell me, tell me what do i know?
i’m listening now
