Daddy is on his way
says he’ll be coming home soon
finding it hard to live alone on the moon
he’ll come back some day
and he’ll stay

but it’s not what he really wants
no it’s not what he really wants
no it’s not what he really wants
because what he wants is lost

sister joined the cavalry
to try something new
she’s sending postcards saying I should come too
she’s gone away to play

but it’s not what she really wants
no it’s not what she really wants
no it’s not what she really wants
because what she wants is lost

is this not what you really want?
