Coal black glass don't make no mirror 
Coal black water don't make no tears 
You say you love me, with what may be love 
Don't you remember making, baby, love? 
Yes, you got your steam-drill built, now you're lookin' for some kid 
To get it to work for you like your nine-pound hammer did.
But I know that you know that I know that you show 
Something is tearing up your mind.

Tell me mama
Tell me mama
Tell me mama, what is it? 
What's wrong with you this time? 

Black sunglass camee(???) don't even run
Tombstone badge on can't get it done
Fool's gold in your teeth and your cemetery hips
Stay outside of your graveyard lips
Yes, everybody's wondering when your friendship's gonna end
But come on baby, I'm your friend
And I know that you know that I know that you show 
Something's tearing up your mind.

Tell me mama
Tell me mama
Tell me mama, what is it? 
What's wrong with you this time? 

Oh, you sure please him but your face is red
And he can't get it, he's almost dead
Everybody sees you on your window ledge
How long is it gonna take for you to get off the edge?
You just gonna make everybody jump and roar
Now what you wanna go and do that for?
And I know that you know that I know that you show 
Something is tearing up your mind.

Tell me mama
Tell me mama 
Tell me mama, what is it? 
What's wrong with you this time?
