Over the Rhine - Daddy Untwisted lyrics

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 sh** 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
