about

Perhaps you were spared the phenomenon of The Momo, the sculpture turned app turned monster that haunted your children's phones from Brazil to Japan. But then again, is anyone spared?

lyrics

What do you do with a child so unhappy and tired?
She sits in her room playing quiet til the middle of the night.
Childhood can be so confusing, and then you grow up.
We're all swimming in blue.
It's got nothing to do with fate
When the Momo comes to escalate.

I hear she looks like a chicken with a face of a woman with large eyes.
She preys on your children sucking their souls from the phone lines.
She'll dangle them over a canyon, or walk them into the sea.
Where they're swimming in blue.
You have nothing to do, it's too late,
When the Momo comes to escalate.

All of our fears can come true with the ping of a phone.
The sound will move up to the rafters and our love is gone.
There once was a mother who had a daughter, and now she is alone.
She is so blue.
Not a thing she can do, it's not fate,
When the Momo comes...
