I pray for peaceThey require me to kick into high gearWe may as well have our Ph. D.'sMy quickened pulse was never taken into accountI pray they learn how to talk it outShe would give me a wink across the roomI would have made a really good lawyerI had a really good strategy for putting things back on the wall and the holderThank God it was the goddamed wallI would have to hide on my liablesWho would calm my mother down?Who would calm me down once I talked her through it?My mother and I were the official peacemakersIt was a full-time jobI would send my mother directly to bed to not collect 200We'd talk about it till 5 am when I come visiting her 5 years laterWe would pray for peaceIt was perfectly comfortable and familiar
