Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
On the anvils of my mothers home I forged myself a steel backbone When a magical man who claimed to be my father walked in on stilts And said, "that's the trick about sin, its the doer that she does in," In his classic artificial humor, his charade of some good will Then he ran off with those callow punks Beautiful prep-school pricks And harmless seminarian misfits To study women, booze and lots of drugs Our silly little oblivions In Marriage of molecular accidents He come through town every now and then, reeking of his sleepless sweat Pale in his pantomime of some unholy agitation He said "The blind, deaf and all the rejects, they ain't de fined by their defects" With an au devoir and he was off to tour the nation Running off with those callow punks Dutiful prep-school pricks And harmless seminarian misfits To study women, booze and lots of drugs Our silly little oblivions Marriage of molecular accidents I got a knock upon the door one day He said, you know that ain't here to stay But there's something I wanted to tell you, son "Take everything I say with a big pillar of salt Be fasting of your fury kill scaffolding of song So we may learn to say nothing as though we're saying it all Forgive my transgressions for I am righting all my wrongs" I said, "you took off with those callow punks Beautiful prep-school pricks And harmless seminarian misfits To study women, booze and lots of drugs Our silly little oblivions Marriage of molecular accidents? And did you once ever wonder if Your son wanted to travel with His father to a world beyond his reach To study women, booze and all the drugs And maybe hug his daddy once And fall asleep to passing headlight beams? My father rose his head and knew what he had to do And my father rose his hand And I rose mine too We headed far and wide and east and west The seven wonders and all the rest Became our beds for many years to come We studied God, stars, and open road I only hope that my son back home Ain't mad I don't return to where I'm from
