Текст песни The Secret Machines - Daddy's in the Doldrums

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
