Father O. S. A. Lyrics - Styx Ii - Styx

Written by dennis deyoung

Father 

You're a sad old man 

Your tawdry vest is gray 

Memories 

Of a former man 

Are all your words convey 

Father 

Oh can't you see 

The tarnished robe you wear 

A crown 

For fools 

The people laugh 

You never seem to hear 

Father 

You're life's a ship 

That's never been to sea 

The bottle 

That surrounds your life 

You'll sail eternally 

[keyboard solo] 

Children 

Please understand 

A man must stand alone 

And face a world 

He'll never know 

And never call his own 

Ba ba bum bum 

Ba ba bum bum 

Ba ba bum bum 

Ba ba bum bum 

Ba ba bum bum 

Ba ba bum bum 

Ba ba bum bum 

Ba ba bum bum 

[continue echo] 

Father 

Father 

Father 

Father 

Father 

Father 

[continue echo]
