At night I heard God whisper lullabyes
   While Daddy next door whistled whisky tunes
   And sometimes when I wanted, they would harmonize
   There was nothing those two couldn't do
  
   Embrace me you child, you're a child of mine
   And I'm leaving everything I am to you
   Go chase the wild and nightime streets sang Daddy
   And God sang, Pray the devil doesn't get to you
  
   I thought together they must sing the moon away
   I thought that they must know each other well
   For the magic that they made, when they played
   Wasn't lost between their Heaven and their Hell
  
   Then one night Daddy died and went to Heaven
   And God came down to earth and slipped away
   I pretended not to notice I'd been abandoned
   But no-one sang the night into the day
   And later night time songs came back again
   But the singers don't compare with those I knew
   And I never figured out where God and Daddy went
   But there was nothing those two couldn't do
