Fatherhood CocoRosie
Lyrics
Priests and demons good as gone
Broken soul to the devil been sold
You left me in my mother's womb
Teenage burnout womb to tomb
My mother never been told your love
She warned me of your ghostly blast
Twisted spider poisoned web
You took my childhood before i had
Priests and demons mystical
You show me nature's miracle
Pray? We did, below the sky
Dark as 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 poisoned
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 shopping mall
This is all i’ve counted
I'm broken, blue, a bastard
Now every man's a bastard
A black handled crystal crucifix
Those shoes are big; they almost fit
I guess I got my momma's feet
I guess I got my momma's feet
All new babes, i forget your names
You name the boy your namesake
Unicorn turned up a snake
Was my little sister's fate
Watch them walk away
So was this all a big mistake
Now I got my legacy
To live and to 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 could save it
My mother's a witch with her black hair
Only you can save her
Your first born son, the chosen one
What happened to Messiah?
Jesus always your right hand
What happened to Messiah?
Watch them walk away
We watch, we watch, we 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
Broken soul to the devil been sold
You left me in my mother's womb
Teenage burnout womb to tomb
My mother never been told your love
She warned me of your ghostly blast
Twisted spider poisoned web
You took my childhood before i had
Priests and demons mystical
You show me nature's miracle
Pray? We did, below the sky
Dark as 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 poisoned
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 shopping mall
This is all i’ve counted
I'm broken, blue, a bastard
Now every man's a bastard
A black handled crystal crucifix
Those shoes are big; they almost fit
I guess I got my momma's feet
I guess I got my momma's feet
All new babes, i forget your names
You name the boy your namesake
Unicorn turned up a snake
Was my little sister's fate
Watch them walk away
So was this all a big mistake
Now I got my legacy
To live and to die and to create
I suppose I should thank you

And only you could save it
My mother's a witch with her black hair
Only you can save her
Your first born son, the chosen one

What happened to Messiah?
Watch them walk away
We watch, we watch, we 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
