Thao & The Get Down Stay Down
In this song, Thao writes what her absent father might be thinking and feeling. She images that he regrets what he’s done, wishes he’d been a better father, and wants to pay for what he’s done, because he want to have a relationship with her. It’s only in the last line that she switches back to her...
We creep so deep in disguise
The private lives of private eyes
My baby, you know she loved the life
And I tried so hard to do right
We should weep to be free
Do you still see God in me
What kind of man am I
To take the fear to you
Take a miracle
To keep me near to you
I show you the metal I am made of
Show you exactly what you've been afraid of
My hands to God to save her
How do I save I've so much to pay for
First you start with the greed
Then you take all of me
Hand to God
Belief in relief
Nothing to stay for
Won't ask you to survive me
One day more
My hands to God to save her
But how do I save I've so much to pay for
We should weep to be free
Do you still see God in me
What kind of man am I
To take the fear to you
Take a miracle
To keep me near to you
We creep so deep in disguise
The private lives of private eyes
My baby, you know she loved the life
And I tried so hard to do right
I show you the metal I am made of
Show you exactly what you've been afraid of
My hands to God to save her
How do I save I've so much to pay for
Belief in relief
Nothing to stay for
Won't ask you to survive me
One day more
My hands to God to save her
But how do you save you've so much to pay for
