Daddy-O

Daddy-o, daddy-o, we've been caught nappin'
Goes to show you never know what's going to happen
Let slip the dogs, release the Kraken!
Someone's always in for a good shellacking

The twisted branch, the blasted tree
Crater wide and smoking
Blood and bone and vented spleen
Wish I was joking

"Beware beware!", Cassandra hollers
"This is gonna be a bitter pill to swallow
Do I stutter, mutter, am I hard to follow?
I testify, I never lie, this horse is hollow"

The snakes are crawling on the beach
The gods in clover
The mountain moans, the river weeps
They know it's over

All your dreams will be torn asunder
Go ask any refugee
Can't block your ears after the thunder
Rolling thunder

Cut it out, cut it out, stop pretending
Look out, look out, the road is bending
The march of folly's never patent-pending
Do not expect a happy ending

The twisted branch, the blasted tree
Crater wide and smoking
Blood and bone and vented spleen
Wish I was joking

The snakes are crawling on the beach
The gods in clover
The mountain moans, the river weeps
They know it's over
