Ariel (Bonus Track)
(专辑: Let Live & Let Ghosts - 2008)
He was a
family man until the
second baby came Then he ran and he ran to a
woman with six of 'em And a
Hasidic Jew with a
history too Took the
two kids plus the
six on weekends and holidays And once in the
winter the
family man splintered In a
drug addicted chasm caught a
wind of the
news That a
plot was in motion to take two kids over an ocean Yeah, you pack them up their suitcases He's taking them to Israel Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Ariel! Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Ariel! He started speaking in tongues While the
girls were quite young Leaving heartbroken and beautiful the
opera singer mother With a
step to the
phone and an aggravated moan Made a
call to the
cops to stop the
stealing of her daughters, then she Went up the
stairs, taking each the
steps in pairs Says "Oh my God, baby girls, I
am really scared!" But a
call to the
cops mae a
stop to the
plot And they fought him and they caught him with his tickets in his pockets Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Ariel! Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Ariel! After a
couple of years, she found a
phone against her ear As she waited for an answer from her long abandoned father, who left When she was a
child weepy eyed and mild and she... She heard a
click and said, "Dad, this is your daughter" Then she heard a
voice, foreign and familiar And she sang to the
voice foreign and familiar And she poured her heart out, foreign and familiar And she found herself crying with a
foreign father figure Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Ariel! Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh Ariel!
