Lyrics
SAVE YOUR LIFE
Hush little baby, don't you cry
Mama's full of angst she can't deny
Your first breath now in great doubt
Mama's unsure how it'll all turn out
Papa wants to buy you a humming bird
Help you give shape to your first words
Be your protector of hopes and dreams
Show how this world's more than it seems
CHORUS
MAMA'S ON A GURNEY ROLLING STRAIGHT TO HELL
PAPA'S ON A MISSION RINGING ALL THE BELLS
MAMA'S CLOSE TO SHUTTING OFF ALL YOUR LIGHTS
PAPA'S PASSIONS PUSHING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE
Hush little baby don't you fret
Mama's already feeling deep regret
One day in heaven I'll wipe your tears
Rest now honey so unawares
Tiny little toes with feet so small
A spirit so large to beat them all
I want you so badly in my life
And not headed directly to afterlife
CHORUS
MAMA'S ON A GURNEY ROLLING STRAIGHT TO HELL
PAPA'S ON A MISSION RINGING ALL THE BELLS
MAMA'S CLOSE TO SHUTTING OFF ALL YOUR LIGHTS
PAPA'S PASSIONS PUSHING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE
BRIDGE
Second thoughts consuming all Mom's will
Rest easy darling, just be still
Off this gurney just in time
Your birth day will be sublime
CHORUS
MAMA'S ON A GURNEY ROLLING STRAIGHT TO HELL
PAPA'S ON A MISSION RINGING ALL THE BELLS
MAMA CAME SO CLOSE TO SHUTTING OFF ALL YOUR LIGHTS
PAPA'S PASSIONS PUSHING HAVE NOW SAVED YOUR LIFE
