Daddy Lyrics by John Grant

The Art of the Lie

2024

[Verse 1]
You are calm, you are rage
You were there yesterday
You will be there tomorrow
Nothing more left to say
Unattainable, you're unattainium
What have you done to my cranium?
I'm so tired, will you hold me?
I just want you to mould me

[Chorus]
Daddy, you're like the ocean
You're like the waves crashing on the beach that morning
Daddy, you are majestic
Would you betray me?
Would you hurt me?

[Verse 2]
You don't like what I am
I have come to understand
It's not like they all think
Like in Monster at the skating rink
I can rest when I'm with you
Be myself, let you do what you do
Perfect form, perfect love
Perfect safety from above

[Chorus]
Daddy, you're like the ocean
You're like the waves crashing on the beach that morning
Daddy, you are majestic
Would you betray me?
Would you hurt me?

[Verse 3]
It's no fault of yours or mine
There would always come a time
You deliver me to them
For what I am is a sin

[Chorus]
Daddy, you're like the ocean
You're like the waves crashing on the beach that morning
Daddy, you are majestic
Would you betray me?
Would you hurt me?
Daddy, you're like the ocean
You're like the waves crashing on the beach that morning
Daddy, you are majestic
Would you betray me?
Would you hurt me?
