The Afghan Whigs
"Now We Can Begin"

mother's very proud of YOU son
come & sit upon her knee
i've got some new denial
i want to change my plea
i've seen through alcohol
raise up the sheets again
told YOU that YOU should fear me
i love to pretend
if i was to correct YOU every time YOU was wrong
i'd be talking all the time
& laughing at YOU twice as long
i've seen through alcohol
i've seen the auctioneer
raise up the sheets again
right now i need YOU near
through him with him in
now we can begin
