The city stays high, all night 
Lit up and shivering
Like a pinball table of fireflies
An echo of home, on the edge of life 
Shot through the veins of an angel 
I'm a devil in exile

But if you have forgotten 
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother 
Would say of what you've done?
And if you can't remember the place
You call a home, or having trouble placing 
Who's calling on the phone

Who's calling on the phone

Dip the nose of the car to the sugar lines
Out to the desert 
Under cinnamon hills and moonshine
He said 'what can I do to make you mine?'
Kiss out the twang from my lips 
On the way to big-time

But if you have forgotten 
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother 
Would say of what you've done?
And if you can't remember the place
You call a home, or having trouble placing 
Who's calling on the phone

Who's calling on the phone

Forgot your mother tongue
Forgot your mother tongue 
Forgot your mother tongue 
Forgot your mother tongue 

But if you have forgotten 
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother 
Would say of what you've done?
And if you can't remember the place 
You call a home, or having trouble placing 
Who's calling on the phone

But if you have forgotten 
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother 
Would say of what you've done?
And if you can't remember the place 
You call a home, or having trouble placing 
Who's calling on the phone
