"Mother Is Dead" is an impassively incanted inventory of the signs of dormition and demise vis-a-vis "Mother". A sonorous male choir surges through the choruses while a mischievous Melon Mendez cackles and whispers in the aether around the edges. She taps tables. She hovers against the ceiling. Oh Mother.

lyrics

The birds in the eaves call out for water
The kitten complains and sniffs the air
The young girl in the driveway shivers

CHORUS
Mother is dead
Mother is dead


The frogs in the ditch are all croaking
Spiders crawl out of the egg
The salmon twitches in the shallows

CHORUS


The neighbours have ceased all their knocking
Her stained teeth are all bared
My baby sister has stopped sucking

CHORUS


The candle has reached the end of its taper
The star up above has dimmed to red
Her ash on the wind is scattered

CHORUS
CHORUS
