Daddy-O Lyrics

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
