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]
