lyrics
He said, "Where would you go? What other way if you wanna go home?"
"Did you adhere to the words that I say, or didn't I say so?"
You're just a smokestack.
He said, "I don't get lost. I count the cost. I can write it down."
"Or toss it all in, let it begin, til it comes around."
You're just a smokestack.
And I don't know where you belong.
When the bombs they fall, will he hear me at all?
Will it all add up, or just find some pieces of a broken cup?
Father of mine, how could you say I'm not already home?
"Did you adhere to the words that I say, or didn't I say so?"
You're just a smokestack.
He said, "I don't get lost. I count the cost. I can write it down."
"Or toss it all in, let it begin, til it comes around."
You're just a smokestack.
And I don't know where you belong.
When the bombs they fall, will he hear me at all?
Will it all add up, or just find some pieces of a broken cup?
Father of mine, how could you say I'm not already home?
