Bit By Bit
Mother Mother Lyrics

Bit by bit, I'm gonna get my bricks out in the sticks
Gradually, I will retrieve each of my bricks from the sticks

Bit by bit, I'm gonna build my house in the wildest thickets
Gradually, I'm going to construct my property in the untamed, dense forest

I'm gonna get away from all those mouths and my shit
I will go away from those who are nasty and from my own unpleasantness too

I'm gonna say goodbye to all the la-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da
I'll tell farewell to all the everyday hubbub, hassle and trifles

I'm getting on a mountain
I'm going to the top of a mountain

Far away from the people on the ground and
Far away from everyone on the land

Some cop sticking up my wagon
A policeman inspecting my wagon

One by one (one by one)
One at a time

I'm gonna get my properties all bundled up (bundled up)
I'm going to gather up all my earth and physical matters

To the branch of a poplar tree and saunter off
To the bough of a poplar tree and stroll away

With a buck and a wildebeest
With a dollar bill and a wild animal

We're getting lost, we're getting lost, we're getting lost
We're becoming lost, we're becoming lost, we're becoming lost

Chop, chop, we're gonna build a cabin
Quickly, we're going to build a small shelter

Up top on a pretty little mountain
On the peak of a beautiful little mountain

Fuck off, all you people on the ground, yeah
Go Away, everyone on the ground, okay

No, I won't bring too much of anything
No, I will not carry a lot of anything

Maybe a little slicker for the rain
Perhaps I'll bring a thin raincoat

Maybe just a good book and a heart to break
Maybe just a well-written book and a heart that's yearning

I'll make a mistress of a little Wiccan thing
I'll turn a small, mystical object into my mistress
