| Little girl sleeping in dreams of peace
|
| Mommy’s been gone a long time
|
| Daddy comes home and she still sleeps
|
| Waiting for the world’s worst crime
|
| And he comes up the stairs like he always does
|
| And he never turns on the light
|
| And she’s wide awake, scared to death
|
| She smells his lust and she smells his sweat
|
| Curled in a ball she holds her breath
|
| Praying to a God that she’s never met
|
| Don’t let daddy kiss me
|
| Don’t let daddy kiss me
|
| Good night
|
| Little girl lies by her daddy’s side
|
| And she listens to him breathe
|
| She knows there’s something awful wrong
|
| That she’s far too young to see
|
| And she knows she can’t tell anyone
|
| She’s so full of guilt and shame
|
| And if she tells she’ll be all alone
|
| They’d steal her daddy and they’d steal her home
|
| And it’s not so bad when daddy leaves her alone
|
| Praying to her God with his heart of stone
|
| Don’t let daddy kiss me
|
| Don’t let daddy kiss me
|
| Good night
|
| Why? |
| Tell me why?
|
| The worst crime in the world
|
| And daddy lies by his daughter’s side
|
| And he sleeps both deep and well
|
| No nightmares come to him tonight
|
| Though his daughter lives in hell
|
| For his seed is sown where it should not be
|
| And the beast in his mind don’t care
|
| And the only sounds are the tears that fall
|
| Little girl turns her face to the wall
|
| She knows that no one hears her call
|
| But it seems like God hears nothing at all
|
| Don’t let daddy kiss me
|
| Don’t let daddy kiss me
|
| Don’t let daddy kiss me
|
| Good night
|
| Oh dear |
