Over The Rhine - Daddy Untwisted Lyrics

Over The Rhine Lyrics

"Daddy Untwisted"

Are you my daddy
Are you

I don't wanna cut you up
Drink you from a paper cup
I don't wanna spit you out
Or kick you in the shin
I don't wanna knock you down
Be your mother be a clown
I don't wanna talk about
The shit you're really in
I don't wanna take a bow
No one's clapping anyhow
I don't wanna sneak around
And pray you'll understand
I don't wanna call your bluff
Enough's enough
I don't wanna see you
Chained up

Are you my daddy
Are you

I don't wanna ruffle you
Cut the deck and shuffle you
Don't wanna come to fisticuffs
Or stick you with a pin
I don't wanna argue
Hurt your pride or make you blue
Your tongue is forked and clearly
There are scales upon your skin
I don't wanna help ice crack
Give you a surprise attack
I don't wanna cut you slack
And watch it go to hell
I don't wanna tell you lies
Like presbyterians or spies
I don't wanna see you chained up

Are you my daddy
Are you

Don't you run away
Leave me like a rainy day
I don't wanna make you stay
Or stand up high above you
Don't want you to see me cry
I'm just trying not to lie
I don't wanna see you chained up
