Lyrics
I'll always stand behind you, son
That's what his father said
But in a smoke-filled room
He only managed to pull out a pair of tins
Who will take his place
While he goes to send a telegram?
Dear father, won't you stand behind me once again?
He's seen so many cities
He's seen so many towns
In every one there's a lover
A lover to be found
So many feathers floating freely
On the chilly northern wind
Dear father, won't you stand behind me once again?
Dear father, I think I've found a friend
His name is Ezekiel, he said he had a vision
It sounds insane to me
But he swears up and down that it's true
Dear father, would you stand behind him too?
Dear father, I saw a snake
While walking 'round the bend
Its tail was in its mouth
And it looked to me as though it had no end
I thought I saw it move
But when I looked again
It had swallowed up its body
And come out looking just the same
I'll always stand behind you, son
That's what his father said
But in a smoke-filled room
He only managed to pull out a pair of tins
Who will take his place
While he goes to send a telegram?
Perhaps we will
Perhaps we'll stand behind him once again
