The Same Father — текст песни (Detroit Marcella)

(Marcella Detroit, Michael Graves)
I worked so hard to get this far
A lifetime doing service
Can`t stand a change or difference
It makes me feel so nervous
I`ve worn this wound for centuries
I look so good in my bandage
Of childhood games and fallacies
I save whatever i can manage
This is my life, this is my lot
It`s not much, but it`s all i`ve got
I won`t let you take it away!

We`re different shades
We`re chalk and clay
We`re fire and we`re water
Don`t talk to me of innocence
I lost it and forgot it
Ever since you came around
There`s chaos in my order
I`m much too blind to ever see
We`re all from the same father, father

I used to be good-looking
But my face became distorted
Something in my body hurts
I don`t know how i got it


Looks like the devil`s work to me
We were so simple and so clean
I won`t let you take it from me!

We`re different shades
We`re chalk and clay
We`re fire and we`re water
Don`t talk to me of innocence
I lost it and forgot it
Ever since you came around
There`s chaos in my order
I`m much too blind to ever see
We`re all from the same father, father...

They gave this gift to me, my
Mother`s, mother`s, mother`s mother`s family;
We love what we believe
You`re lost if you can`t see it!
