The Secret Machines - Daddy's In The Doldrums lyrics

rate me

A mother walks the streets,

with a baby in her hands.

And while the child weighs on her mind,

momma's lookin' for a man.

Cuz the daddy's in the doldrums,

And momma wants to dance.

Yeah, daddy's in the doldrums,

And he can barely stand.

So where were you?

Ohhh... ahhhh....

So where were you?

Ohhh... ahhhh....

As I stood, frozen dark,

A breath of overcasting black,

I watched her walk away.

I know she aint comin' back.

Cuz her daddy's in the doldrums,

And momma wants to dance.

Yeah, daddy's in the doldrums,

And you can barely stand.

So where were you?

Ohh... ahhh....

So where were you?

Ohh... ahhh....

(Where were you?)

With each step she took,

Another nail branded in building her roof.

(Where were you?)

No, don't look back and watch me,

The rain wont, 'cuz it's an act.

(where were you?)

With all my love just flows deceit,

sickening, just carry it away.<br><br>Thanks to thudord
