Father is underground, waiting
Orphan and the time bomb
Crawl from colored curtains
Directing sailing ships
From the edges where we slip down
The grieving mother breaks down
Another brandy water
Watch the pictures circle around
I’m never gonna be the same, ma…
The boy is just to feel the shame
Directing sailing ships
From the edges where we slip down
