In the patent leather life
I was foolish you were right
All night rookies past the time

Looking for some other way
Shiny boots all up their thighs


Chorus:
Mother in the night
Calling you calling you

Mother in the night
Where are you where are you now
Mother's left the building

We're the missing children
Mother in the night
Where are you where are you tonight


Mother may I stay all night
Lift your curfew like the light

Collars turned against the cold
I'm looking for someone to hold
In the patent leather night


Chorus:
Mother in the night


Calling you calling you
Mother in the night

Where are you where are you now
Mother's left the building
We're the missing children

Mother in the night
Where are you where are you tonight


Now that I can't remember
Now that I need you more than ever
Why can't we be together always


Chorus:
Mother in the night

Calling you calling you
Mother in the night
Where are you where are you now

Mother's left the building
We're the missing children
Mother in the night

Where are you where are you tonight

(Fade out)
