Madrid Is My Mama Lyrics by David Yazbek

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2011

[TAXI DRIVER]
Madrid is my mama
Give me the nipple, everyday I'm gonna taste it
The tears and the drama
Ten tons of mama-milk and not a drop is wasted
Give me directions straight into the hurricane
Shake me up and take me to the heart of all the joy and all the pain
Put me to bed, I'm tattered up and torn
But every morning I come out
And I'm reborn, reborn, reborn
Ma-ma-ma-mama madrid, I'm your baby
Bounce me in my buggy on the roads I'm born to bump on
I'm all right or maybe I'm all wrong
But I'm taking this ride and anyone can jump on
And when the trail gets stale
The same old view
Just turn the corner and it's all brand new
Madrid, I love you my big mama
Give me 'little titty 'cause I'm hungry every minute
Technicolor wide-screen cinerama
Life is a movie and oh God, I'm glad I'm in it
Well, well, well, well
I've been down every street and every cul de sac
An ever-changing cast of thousands in the back
The flag goes down, a brand new scene and then
Flag goes up, the scene is over, they get out
It all begins again
Madrid, my mama, my creator
She might make me crazy but I'm not gonna fight her
I love her madly even when I hate her
Push me out, I'll just crawl back up inside her
So if you wanna go ahead and die, amen
In another ten minutes you'll be born again
And it'll all be here and it'll all be new
And what you wanna do with it is up to you
'Cause maybe life is hard and maybe love is fickle
It's all a steady trickle from her umbilical
Every bump of the road, every stop every start
You can feel her heart
You can feel her heart
You can feel her heart
Badaboom, badaboom
Badaboom, badadoom
Badaboom, badaboom
Mamamamamamama
Mama!
