My daughter
O my daughter
I am a man in pain
I am plagued by flies that rot the apple of my eye
Spread their maggots and lay their eggs
O my daughter
My daughter
I am a man deceived
For this God-forsaken city
Has stolen my daughter from me
Surely she's been had
By some sort of surly witchcraft
Just as this city
Long ago bewitched me
But soon they'll start a-marchin'
That ragtag band of refugees
And then it's Lord of the Flies
'round each corner
A more troubling scene
O my daughter
My daughter
Are you in love with a wound?
Or is it the rose-colored glasses the wounding implores
For I worry
Like in a painting
You've romanticized the lore
Of a delicate elbow
Nursin' on the needle of a whore
And after you've fed the hungry
Clothed then naked
Saved the poor
Do each of your benefactors
Join in your rat race, forevermore
And if the wolves offer companionship
Will you count on success?
Are you sure they'll stand beside you
When you're facing your own death
O my daughter
My daughter
I am a man in pain
I am plagued by flies that rot the apple of my eye
Spread their maggots and lay their eggs
Though your honor
Toward my daughter
Is robust enough to see
She's deceived her father
And someday just may thee
She's deceived her father
And someday just may thee
She's deceived her father
And just may betray thee
