[Verse 1]
Hold on, he's coming
Through the wheels of the star machine
Hold on, he's coming
Through the tears of your shit-stained dream

[Pre-Chorus]
In an anthem for the world, let him waltz you down the river
Let him feel like boy or girl with his sci-fi lullaby
Let the light of the bomb, shine from him tomorrow
Yes, this world needs a father for the sorrow

[Chorus]
So let's have one more for the lovers
And one more for the friends
'Cause drink to you is all I can do
As life slips down, down the drain

[Verse 2]
Hold on, he's coming
With the screen-kissed spine of the past
Hold on, it's alright, he's coming
With the style of the wormwood star

[Pre-Chorus]
Sing an anthem for the world, sing a farewell for the river
If you feel like boy or girl, sing a sci-fi lullaby
Let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow
Yes, this world needs a father for the sorrow
[Chorus]
So let's have one more for the lovers
And one more for the friends
'Cause drink to you is all I can do
As life goes round, round the bend

[Instrumental Outro]
