Styx - Father O.S.A. lyrics

rate me

Written by Dennis DeYoung

Lead vocals by Dennis DeYoung

father

you're a sad old man

your tawdry vest is gray

memories

of a former man

are all your words convey

father

oh can't you see

the tarnished robe you wear

a crown

for fools

the people laugh

you never seem to hear

father

you're life's a ship

that's never been to sea

the bottle

that surrounds your life

you'll sail eternally

[keyboard solo]

children

please understand

a man must stand alone

and face a world

he'll never know

and never call his own

ba ba bum bum

ba ba bum bum

ba ba bum bum

ba ba bum bum

ba ba bum bum

ba ba bum bum

ba ba bum bum

ba ba bum bum

[continue echo]

father

father

father

father

father

father

[continue echo]
