Bastard Children

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Grab your seashells, baby Rise and rip the shore bare You're ripe and ready You're all of three A ripple on your mom's posterior [Bridge] Walk hand-in-hand with the only stranger you've ever known On the sidewalk towards the only car you've ever owned The only car you've ever owned was yellow The only car you've ever owned was yellow [Verse 2] I see an image of a dame reading Relinquished pastime Hе took it, he sold it, a gambling man I hear he wasn't worth your timе Now I've got ten pieces Nine I need to finish [Chorus] The sunny days are sweeping the clouds away On my way, on my way Come and play, everything's A-okay On my way, on my way [Verse 3] I have an image of a man sitting Diamonds he holds in a ring That he won from a bad token of his regret A premonition he hands to me Now the ring won't fit anything They're a player, a card game, a joker, or a saviour [Chorus] The sunny days are sweeping the clouds away On my way, on my way Come and play, everything's A-okay On my way, on my way
