Mamma - Ryan Adams

Woman, am I the human

Am I the depot

When the train rolls in

Mamma, am I the human

Am I the crowbars

When the door’s kicked in

Woman, am I the children

Watching the spacemen from the television

Mamma, am I the caveman

Am I the buffalo

Am I the dried up bones

Mamma, did you leave my brother alone

Mamma, did you leave my brother alone

Mamma, did you leave my brother alone

You didn’t leave him alive

Mamma, how was he supposed to survive

Woman, am I the human

Am I the turbulence

Under the wingspan

Mamma, am I still Batman

Am I the sirens

Am I the ambulance

Woman, am I too weak then

Shove all the rocks all

In lines with the plowman

Mamma, am I the snowman

Am I the rainfall

And the sky when it’s freezing

Mamma, did you leave my brother to die

Mamma, did you leave my brother to die

Mamma, did you leave my brother to die

You didn’t leave him alive

Mamma, how was he supposed to survive

Without a woman

Without a brother

Without a sister

Without a father

Without a mother

Oh, my brother

How was he supposed to survive

My armour

How was he supposed to survive
