1) DRIFTING
Father, Father,
Tell me a story,
Make it heroic,
Make it come true,
Father, Father,
Give me some counsel,
Tell me what I am supposed to do,

What do you mean
You don’t know either?
That isn’t how this is supposed to go,
Father, Father,
Tell me the secret,
Give me an answer,
Please don’t say no

Mama,
Make me feel better,
I’m under the weather
And I’m feeling blue,
Tell me, tell me
I’ll come out the winner
And all of those bullies will see I am true,

What do you mean
You’re wondering too,
Clinging to hope and for more things to do,
Mama,
Why do you hug me with fright,
That horrible fright
That says I’m just like you.

I’m drifting,
Would I even know if it looked me
Straight in the eye,
I can’t think of anything worse
Than not knowing the answer
Before I die

Baby, baby,
Tell me you love me
There’s no one above me
And never will be,
Tell me you’ll save
Every comment and comfort
And all loving gestures
For no one but me,

What do you mean
There are some restrictions,
I can’t go and leave you
For too many days,
How can I
Go on being myself
When life on the road
Is the one thing that pays?

Doctor, Doctor,
Tell me the reason,
Tell me the source
That causes these pangs,
I’ve been having
This terrible fever,
This terrible swelling
In all of my glands,

What do you mean
It’s all in my head,
I should give it a rest
And just go to bed,
That’s no way,
No way to go,
If you’re trying your best
Just to get ahead,

I’m drifting,
Would I even know if it looked me
Straight in the eye,
I can’t think of anything worse
Than not knowing the answer before I die.
