Now I`m Your Mom — текст песни (David Byrne)

He is a boy
You are a girl
And you will always stay that way
But there are people
In this world
Who`d like to change what nature made

And if you take that decision
Then they will make that incision - down below

The birds and the bees
Are singin` for me
And this is the song I heard them singin`
Goin` tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
But I never heard a word they`re tellin` me

Oh little girl
Please understand
And listen to the words I say
I was your dad
Now I`m your mom
I hope you`ll comprehend someday

I didn`t mean to confuse you
And now I know that it`s hard to understand

The birds and the bees
Are singin` for me
But I never heard a word they`re sayin`
Goin` tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
Freedom of choice is what they`re bringin`

And when Columbus sailed
Upon that mighty sea
Well, we are just like him
Yes, we are pioneers

Into the great unknown
The wild uncharted lands
There ain`t no turning back
Ain`t gonna be no chains on me

Who would ever believe
Caterpillars like me
Turning into a butterfly
Well, I was suddenly free

The birds and the bees
Are singin` for me
And this is the song I heard them singin`
Tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
Freedom of choice is what they`re bringin`

You know I`m man enough
Ain`t gonna run and hide
My love is mighty tough
My love is mighty wild

I got a pair o` wings
And I`m gonna fly away
Too late to turn back now
Tomorrow came today - for me
