The Residents - Inner Space lyrics

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 like would soon be full of him I went to see my father growing colder
