No Sign

How many times do I have to repeat That the finding is worse than the wail of the weak And the prospect of having no purpose to seek Will eventually break the kings neck and his feet Old little villages founded by them Who fled from the circus and freak shows again Close to the water away from the hills Tied to the shame and surviving on pills That's how I found him daddy o' dear Reeking of inscent brandy and beer No sign of mother I went to the peers Feeling her presence since so many years That's how I found him brother of mine Easily tempted by herbs and by wine Clear lack of sleeping haunted by time Still no sign of mother still no sign As I approached him and whispered the words He had no idea that I searched for him first I should have guessed that there would be a third Twenty two candles were alight in the church Covered by blackness the night is my friend Never will anyone see me again Don't turn around now this is the end Oh mother I found you or so I pretend That's how I found him daddy o' dear Reaking of inscent brandy and beer No sign of mother I went to the peers Feeling her presence since so many years That's how I found him brother of mine Easily tempted by herbs and by wine Clear lack of sleeping haunted by time Still no sign of mother still no sign
