Testo Around the World - Christine Ebersole & Mary Louise Wilson
Testo della canzone Around the World (Christine Ebersole & Mary Louise Wilson), tratta dall'album Grey Gardens (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
It's my mother's house
In my mother's name
And you can't beat Mother at Mother's game
'Cause she likes the people who I don't like
And if I don't like it, it's "Take a hike!"
Which is Mother's way of reminding me
When you live off Mother, you can't be free
And I think that Mother is very mean
And this latest thing, with this wash machine
The one Jerry brought -
Don't be too surprised
If the guy moves in, and I'm pulverized
'Cause I'll be damned if I'm gonna waste my time
Washing clothes in a goddamn machine!
I feel very strongly about mementoes
Memorabilia, I guess you call it
Around the world is what I call my wall of special things
Around the world with rose bouquets I dried and tied on strings
A silver mask from a masquerade
Around and round I twirled
You tack them up
So you can twirl around the world
Edie! He found it! Jerry found my old song!
It's my mother's house
With my mother's friends
And with Jerry coming, it never ends
It's the same old story as George Gould Strong
Not in twenty years did we get along
Though I do feel bad for the way he died
In a two-bit flea-bag, a suicide
It was Mother's money - the Bouviers'
And if Mother spends it in crazy ways
No one else took care of her. Only me!
She was taken care of, not sexually
And if you infer that they were using her
I will shove you under the goddamn bed!
Around the world with stones and shells
The nicest one I lost
Around the world without a boat
And just a quote from Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
A lovely crossing on
Around the world
The world around the attic wall
Around the world there isn't room
For every special thing
Around the world you choose a few
To make the music sing
A silver mask from a masquerade
Around and round I twirled
You tack them up
So when you go
The world will be the one you know
A birdcage I plan to hang
I'll get to that someday
A birdcage for a bird
Who flew away
Around the world
