this world needs a father

hold on

he's coming

through the wheels of the star machine

hold on

he's coming

through the tears of your shit stained dream

in an anthem for the world

let him waltz you down the river

let him feel like boy or girl

with his sci-fi lullaby

let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow

yes this world needs a father for the sorrow

so let's have one

for the lovers

and one more

for the friends

'cause drink to you is all i can do

as life slips down

down the drain

hold on

he's coming

with the screen kissed spine of the past

hold on

he's coming

with the style of the wormwood star

sing an anthem for the world

sing a farewell for the river

if you feel like boy or girl

sing a sci-fi lullaby

let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow

yes this world needs a father for the sorrow

so let's have one more

for the lovers

and one more

for the friends

for drink to you is all i can do

ss life slips down

down the drain
