She'll only be a minute

Just going through her hair

There's gonna be a wedding

Wish I could be there

But then again: why should I be alone



Her first man was a sadist

Who drank her tears like wine

Until she mixed his coffee

With something alkaline

She left him at the table

And slammed the door



My ancestors have let me down

I asked for fame in every town

All along they wear me out

Our ancestors



Only be a minute

Going through her hair

I watched another wedding

I watched until I cried

Over all the loved ones, men and wives



My ancestors have let me down

I asked for fame in every town

All along they wear me out

Our ancestors have let me down

I asked for fame in every town

All along they wear me out

My ancestors

Down, down, down
