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

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 the patent leather night

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
Now that 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 tonight
Mother in the night
Calling you calling you
Mother in the night
Where are you where are you now
