In a packed-in-leather life I was foolish, you were right All night rookies pass the time Looking for somewhere to go Shiny boots are 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 your packed-in-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?
Now that I can’t remember I need you more than ever Why can’t we be together always?
Mother in the night Mother in the night
Mother’s left the building We’re the missing children Mother in the night Where are you, where are you now?
Mother in the night Calling you, calling you Mother in the night Where are you, where are you tonight?
