Venus
SUPER T Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Father, father, I have sinned
I dunno where to begin
Give me words of advice
I'll save 'em up for a clear day

Keep your eye upon the ball
Write your thoughts upon the wall
There's some words of advice

Save 'em up for a clear day

Venus and Serena understand
(Venus and Serena understand)
Venus and Serena understand

Flushing meadows down the stream
Living life as though it's a dream
Eat the future today
Don't save it up for a rainy day

Holy bombs make holy holes
Holy holes make homeless moles
Take the turtle and hare
Don't run around when you can walk there

Venus and Serena understand
(Venus and Serena understand)
Venus and Serena understand

Father, father, father, father can't you see?
I'm a walking tragedy
Father, father, father when I look to the past
I never realized that it wouldn't last

Venus and Serena understand
(Venus and Serena understand)
Venus and Serena understand
(Venus and Serena understand)
Venus and Serena understand
(Venus and Serena understand)
Venus and Serena understand

I've one final thing to say
I'm not your father anyway

Found you under a cloud
Left outside by the wolves one day, hey
