This World Needs a Father

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] So let's have one more 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 [Verse 2] Hold on, he's coming With the screen-kissed spine of the past Hold on, it's alright, he's coming With the style of the wormwood star [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] So let's have one more for the lovers And one more for the friends 'Cause drink to you is all I can do As life goes round, round the bend [Instrumental Outro]
