Tonight would be
the last night that we had our tea
That b***** tea,
which sent us into ecstasy
Yesterday Mother complained,
feeling dizzy, all in pain
Mother's getting weaker, looking
paler day by day
As morning came,
she could not make it out of bed
And Grandma's spell was getting
straight into her head
Not a single word,
she didn't seem to be alive
Getting weaker, looking paler day by
day
Then Missy came in and
she led me by the hand
I didn't want to go,
Oh but I should have known
Mother was barely conscious,
why should I care?
Just looking forward
to the next ordeal
I think I heard
My sister begging me to stay
She gave me the phone,
so I could call someone for help
I simply let go of her hand,
then I cut the wire
Missy was crying
as I left them both behind
And Mother's getting weaker,
Missy shouted at My back
"I hate You"
