Venus & Serena
[Raised by wolves until the age of two, my closest childhood friends and confidants were my two pet turtles, Venus and Serena:]
[Son:]
Father, father I have sinned
I dunno where to begin
Give me words of advice
I'll save them up for a clear day
[Father:]
Keep your eye upon the ball
Write your thoughts upon the wall
There's some words of advice
Save them up for a clear day
(Venus and Serena understand) (X2)
Venus and Serena understand
Flushing meadows down the stream
Living life as though it's a dream
Eat the future today
Don't save it up for a rainy day
Holy bombs make holy holes
Holy holes make homeless moles
Take the turtle and hare
Don't run around if you can walk there
(Venus and Serena understand) (X2)
Venus and Serena understand
[Son:]
Father, father, father, father can't you see?
I'm a walking tragedy
Father, father, father when I look to the past
I never realised that it wouldn't last
(Venus and Serena understand) (X4)
Venus and Serena understand
(Venus and Serena understand)
Venus and Serena understand
[Father:]
I've one final thing to say
I'm not your father anyway
Found you under a cloud
Left outside by the wolves one day, hey
[Son:]
Father, father I have sinned
I dunno where to begin
Give me words of advice
I'll save them up for a clear day
[Father:]
Keep your eye upon the ball
Write your thoughts upon the wall
There's some words of advice
Save them up for a clear day
(Venus and Serena understand) (X2)
Venus and Serena understand
Flushing meadows down the stream
Living life as though it's a dream
Eat the future today
Don't save it up for a rainy day
Holy bombs make holy holes
Holy holes make homeless moles
Take the turtle and hare
Don't run around if you can walk there
(Venus and Serena understand) (X2)
Venus and Serena understand
[Son:]
Father, father, father, father can't you see?
I'm a walking tragedy
Father, father, father when I look to the past
I never realised that it wouldn't last
(Venus and Serena understand) (X4)
Venus and Serena understand
(Venus and Serena understand)
Venus and Serena understand
[Father:]
I've one final thing to say
I'm not your father anyway
Found you under a cloud
Left outside by the wolves one day, hey
