letra de snakes and oysters - divorcee

all of my memories start at three
on the cracked porch you gave me lily of the valley
you showed me verdi opera’s, and ballet, and we walked the zoo in bare feet
but by when i was twelve or thirteen
you made sure, sir, the world was my oyster
then followed your master to sod and disaster
the games in the parlor when covered in dust
and it became hard for you to win back my trust
bit by the fireflies alight
our leering neighbor use to watch me cry

by night i’m indie in a pit of poison snakes
by day your joined twin aches for second takes

if i feel low and guilty after one night of drinking
then i know by 16 it must feel like you’re sinking
your shoulders shrinking “oh what were you thinking?”
as i huddled by your hospital bed
and slowly lowering your head you said
“everything good that has happened yet
is over shadowed by regret”

by night my specters breath and dream of darken shapes
by day i’m only haunted by the snakes

now my battles have waned and seem minute
and i miss how each breath of youth burned acute
but every memory that i conjure
bring the pain that this won’t last longer
i’m saying how i raise my daughter
will be a tribute
so here’s to you
dad i’m yours, i’ll drain one too
drink up the screen fades black to stings of blue
