I know you won’t get very far With the back seat driver in the carpetbagger With the dagger heart grabber stuck in your car And the yard is grown to a hilt And the money spent money spent where it went Embarrassment, embarrassment to pay for the car And the man who left you for dead He’s the heart grabber back stabber double cheater wife beater You don’t need that man in your life And you worked yourself to the bone While the people say what they say It’s the neighbors anyway They don’t know what’s good for your life And I see your head hangs low In the black shadow, half shadow Living room is fitting is sitting room is fit for your crying Don’t be ashamed—don’t hide in your room For the woman is, woman is the glorious victorious The mother of the heart of the world Djohariah Djohariah, etc. And the time you held to the light When water ran water ran with the strange attic And when the walls were wet with your life And you pushed yourself to the floor And the spirit went where it went Hovering discovering uncovering your life, on the floor And the walls were wet with your love For the mother is, the mother is the glorious victorious The mother of the heart of the world Don’t be ashamed, don’t hide from me now For the woman is the woman is the glorious victorious The mother of the heart of the world Djohariah Djohariah, etc. Don’t be ashamed, don’t cry in the bath For it’s the story of, story of, morning glory story It’s the gloriole that comes to your path There is a time when the lights will arise For the mother is, the mother is the glorious victorious The mother of the heart of the world Go on! Little sister! Go on! For your world is yours, world is yours All the wilderness of world is yours to enjoy Go on! Little sister! Go on! Little sister! For your world is yours, world is yours All the wilderness of world is yours Go on! Little sister! Go on! Little sister! For your world is yours, world is yours All the wilderness of world is yours Go on! Little sister! Go on! For you’re beautiful, beautiful All the fullness of the world is yours
