Cendrillon (4) 吉他谱

I called my mother on the telephone
Said "You think it's all right on nights when I'm home
"I sit in the dark and I kinda get stoned

I was high, I was high every night.

I said, "Mother, I'm fried, I'm fucked, I'm tired.
"I've been out dancing almost every night."
She said, "There, you're on your own,
"But you'll always have the telephone."
