Mama, mama, I have fell
Slipped into the wishing well
Paid my price, I'm now in hell
Bent your rope, it seems that I've fallen

Link at the stars that cover day
All the light has turned to gray
I'd better stop or lose my way
Tuck me in and read a story

Seem to want that's every vine
After what we leave behind
It's a life of the daily grind
Forget what all our hopes and dreams are

Papa, papa, please help me
I have swam to far and sea
The water is deep, the waves are high
Hold out your arms, I think that I'm drowning

I have climbed the highest limb
Look at what's involved within
Separated good from sin
Seems I'm on the last tree standing

Growing, sleeping you and I
All the while I wonder why
When we go will someone cry
Remember us when we're six feet under

Rest your hand on my aching head
Have this feeling, the man is dead
Is it something I am, or something I said?
Give me the black car, calling the landlady

Mama, mama, I have fell
Slipped into the wishing well
Paid my price, I'm now in hell
Bent your rope, it seems that I've fallen

I have climbed the highest limb
Look at what's involved within
Separated good from sin
Seems I'm on the last tree standing

The last tree standing
The last tree standing
The last tree standing
