Lyrics The Only Daughter - David Sylvian, Ryoji Ikeda

The Only Daughter

She was, she was
A friend of mine
Do us a favour, your one and only warning
Please be gone by morning
She was, she was
A friend of mine
Inconsistencies
Words on paper
The track still warm
I came to hate her
Smitten no longer
Me, the only daughter
Render the vow
It’s my home now
This, your one and only warning
Please be gone by morning
And if the ending is clean
The quirk, the fuss, the vaseline
She won’t even see it coming
Roll them over, roll them over, roll them over
Me, the only daughter
She was, she was a friend of mine
Smitten no longer
Me, the only daughter
Render the vow
It’s my home now
The penny’s dropped
The room’s in order
I masked the spot
Me, the only daughter
Do us a favour, your one and only warning
Please be gone by morning
