Daddy's In The Doldrums Lyrics - The Secret Machines

Mother walks the streets 

With a baby in her hands 

Ohh, the child weighs on her mind 

Mama's looking for a man 

'Cause her daddy's in the doldrums 

And mama wants to dance 

Yeah, daddy's in the doldrums 

And he can barely stand 

So where were you? 

So where were you? 

His eyes stood frozen, dark 

A breath of overcastting black 

I watched her walk away 

I know she ain't coming back 

'Cause her daddy's in the doldrums 

And mama wants to dance 

Yeah, daddy's in the doldrums 

And he can barely stand 

So where were you? 

So where were you? 

With each step she took 

Another nail driven in building her wreck 

No, don't look back or watch me reign down 

'Cause it's an act 

Though my love just feels deceit 

The sickening beat just carried away
