Inner Space - The Residents

When I think about my father

I see a silver ship

Sailing on the oceans of nirvana

When I think about my father

On his sad and lonely trip

I wonder if he misses me and mama

When I think about my father

I see someone who’s sick

Of breathing life into a lost persona

When I went to see my father

I was his only friend

No one knew he was a lonely soldier

When I went to see my father

He was bitter at the end

When the wind was a blowing so much bolder

I went to see my father

Who was dying to pretend

The emptiness of life would soon be full of him

I went to see my father growing colder
