Mother walks the streets With a baby in her hands While the child weighs on her mind Mamas looking for a man Cause her Daddys in the doldrums And Mama wants to dance Yeah, Daddys in the doldrums And he can barely stand So where were you? His eyes stood frozen, dark A breath of overcasting black I watched her walk away I know she aint coming back Cause her Daddys in the doldrums And Mama wants to dance Yeah, Daddys in the doldrums And he can barely stand So where were you? With each step she took Another nail driven In building her wreck No, dont look back or Watch me reign down Cause its an act Though my love just feels deceit The sickening beat gets carried away
doldrums, daddy, mama, barely, overcasting
