Bruno is Orange / Mother

Bruno, what did you tell that man?
He's a clever man, did you know?
I bet he works for the government
I know you know I know
I know I can't control thoughts of things I need
And I believe everybody needs some encouragement

I think it's real unfair that you should put him there
All we did is kiss on my grave, I swear
Where did you find his shoes? A lock of my hair?
All we did is kiss on my grave, I swear

Some dull morning, we were wearing sheets
He whispered, "I think they know better than me"
See this hand that pushed you into the creek?
Sorry, was just fun, and you were laughing
We were running towards the street
You wrote my name into the fresh painted yellow line
And I wrote your name right there next to mine

We had to dodge a truck
He almost hit a spud
I think we had some luck
And for two bucks
We bought some bread
And fed the grey geese and the ducks

Everyone will come, everyone will yell
I'd thank you just the same if you didn't tell
My mother says that I will surely go to hell
Please be a good man, please say you won't tell

Did you know that that boy is an armed man?
Bearing flowers in two hands
Very able to hold me down
And love me more than anyone

Bruno, what happened to your good sense?
I broke down that man's good
I bet he works for the government

Did you hear about that mother?
Broke her daughter's legs in two
And said, "It's too dangerous out there to walk, so
I had to save you"

Mother, you had me but I never had you
I wanted you, you didn't want me

So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Father, you left me, but I never left you
I needed you, you didn't need me

So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk, no, and I tried to run

So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Mother, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mother, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mother, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mother, don't go
Daddy, come home
