Parenthetical Girls - Oh Daughter/Disaster lyrics
[Parenthetical Girls - Oh Daughter/Disaster lyrics]
Oh my daughter legs in plaster
Taught to keep her knees together
Oh my daughter skin grew over
And taught to walk some three years later
Oh my daughter
The fragile features of your mother
They’re buried under
The plainer features of your father
Oh my daughter life rushed from you
And split in ways you weren’t meant to
And oh my daughter such crushing pressure
At half the age of your poor mother
Oh my daughter
Your ruddy cheeks will never weather
And buried under
The fragile features of your mother
Taught to keep her knees together
Oh my daughter skin grew over
And taught to walk some three years later
Oh my daughter
The fragile features of your mother
They’re buried under
The plainer features of your father
Oh my daughter life rushed from you
And split in ways you weren’t meant to
And oh my daughter such crushing pressure
At half the age of your poor mother
Oh my daughter
Your ruddy cheeks will never weather
And buried under
The fragile features of your mother
