CocoRosie - Fatherhood lyrics

[CocoRosie - Fatherhood lyrics]

Beasts and demons, good is God
Broken soldier, the devil been sold
You left me in my mother's womb
Teenage burn-out womb to tomb
My mother never enjoyed you lot
She warned me of your ghostly blast
Twisted spider, poisoned web
You took my childhood before I had

Beasts and demons mystical
You showed me nature's miracle
Prayed beneath, below a sky
Darkest ravens feathers
But in the end, your children die
They'll meet you in heaven
Your soul, it can never die
Even if you're poison

Watch, watch, watch, watch
Watch them walk away
Watch, watch, watch, watch


Watch them walk away

So the moral of the story is
Magic doesn't save your kids
They needed love to grow up tall
Like the purple mountains
You held my hand in a shoppping mall
This is all I've counted
I'm broken, blue, a bastard
Now every man's a bastard
A black and a crystal crucifix
These shoes are big, they almost fit
I gaze down at my mama's feet
I guess I got my mama's feet
All new babes, I forget your name
You named the boy your namesake
Unicorn, tongue of a snake
Was my little sister's fate

Watch, watch, watch, watch
Watch them walk away
Watch, watch, watch, watch
Watch them walk away

Was this all a big mistake?
Now I got my legacy
To live and die and to create
I suppose I should thank you
You never were the violent type
Only with your mentals
I used to hold your coffee cup
You taught me fundamentals
Of all the evils of the world
And only you can save it
Mother's a witch with her black hair
And only you could save her
Your first born son, the chosen one
What happened to messiah?
Jesus always your right hand
What happened to messiah?

Watch, watch, watch, watch
Watch them walk away
Watch, watch, watch, watch
Watch them walk away
Watch, watch, watch, watch
Watch them walk away

We watch, we watch our fathers walk away
We watch, we watch, we watch them walk away
We watch, we watch our fathers walk away
