Daddy Untwisted - Over the Rhine

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
