lyrics

One winter morning in the woodshed
grandma lost it, no doubt
she found mice trapped in
an old bucket,
they just couldn’t get out.
She started to strangle them,
one-by-one with her bare hands;
why was she later so different?
well, no one understands.

The same week grandpa passed away
and I heard at the funeral
that he saw Jesus in a labor camp
at the foot of the Urals
still never was religious,
grandma had to go to church
without him to praise the name
they would often besmirch.

You might think that I went astray
and I’m talking backwards.
You might think that I went astray
and I’m talking backwards.

About these things
Daddy put forward
his own theory,
‘cause he was eager to decipher
what others could not see
he only failed to see the signs
when he was to grasp them well,
ever since he keeps trying
to break the nameless spell.

You might think that I went astray
and I’m talking backwards.
You might think that I went astray
and I’m talking backwards.

Wake up Daddy
for your children’s sake
and please try to stay awake

Keep trying
even if they say
that your demons dragged you away

Wake up Daddy.
