While Daddy next door whistled whisky tunes
 And sometimes when I wanted, they would harmonize
 There was nothing those two couldn't do

 Embrace me you child, you're a child of mine
 And I'm leaving everything I am to you
 Go chase the wild and nightime streets sang Daddy
 And God sang, Pray the devil doesn't get to you

 I thought together they must sing the moon away
 I thought that they must know each other well
 For the magic that they made, when they played
 Wasn't lost between their Heaven and their Hell

 Then one night Daddy died and went to Heaven
 And God came down to earth and slipped away
 I pretended not to notice I'd been abandoned
 But no-one sang the night into the day
 And later night time songs came back again
 But the singers don't compare with those I knew
 And I never figured out where God and Daddy went
 But there was nothing those two couldn't do
