It’s all right ma like the man said
don’t let my strange lines bother your head
I’m not crazy no I’m not mad
It’s just a notion or two I’ve had
nobody wants to worry their mother
and I’m no different from any other
I try to cast all my facts in good light
when I talk to her at the end of the night
I’m a mama’s boy yeah I love my mom
and I think of her when I need to be calm
But I can’t let her see the dark half of me
the black angel struggling to be free
I guess she’d understand it though
we’ve all got an angel we never show
a secret source of power and light
that spreads its wings in the dead of night
While I channel a rage I do not feel
and stare bemused while I spin the wheel
I live a clean life for the sake of my mom
who rests safe as houses in the black angel’s palm
