They say there's some room here
Beneath the streets somewhere
Where some robot people, they live
This room where they're livin'
They say it's real hidden
But I'm gonna find them, I will
When Daddy was young, he's a scoundrel
With charm and a smile that would shine
With fingers so quick and so nimble
Cash flowed through his hand just like wine
He showed all them good times to Mama
She says he swept her off of her feet
And they got a small flat
With his questionable cash
And then they had Helen and me
I never did know him
When he was young and happy and smiled
They say that the good times
Were before I arrived
Smokes don't light right in the rain
Your smokes don't light right in the rain
Your smokes don't light right in the rain
Daddy got into some trouble
So they crushed one of his hands
Mom left when the good times had ended
And then Daddy just drank and got mad
He'd take it all out on poor Helen
The bruises she had, what a sight
But one day he let loose
And was slappin' me too
And Helen stabbed him right there with a knife
I know if I'd just known him early
He'd have been so much sweeter to me
We'd be like those girls in the park there
On a playground on a Sunday in spring
With daddies who were always smiling
Protecting their girls if they cried
Always telling them nice things
Like "I love you, I'm glad you're alive"
There's gotta be something
Worth saving in each
There's gotta be something
Worth saving in me
Smokes don't light right in the rain
Your smokes don't light right in the rain
Your smokes don't light right in the rain
We did okay on the streets then
Helen and me, we got by
'Til all of that talk about voices
Robots talkin' to her in her mind
Beneath the streets somewhere
Where some robot people, they live
This room where they're livin'
They say it's real hidden
But I'm gonna find them, I will
When Daddy was young, he's a scoundrel
With charm and a smile that would shine
With fingers so quick and so nimble
Cash flowed through his hand just like wine
He showed all them good times to Mama
She says he swept her off of her feet
And they got a small flat
With his questionable cash
And then they had Helen and me
I never did know him
When he was young and happy and smiled
They say that the good times
Were before I arrived
Smokes don't light right in the rain
Your smokes don't light right in the rain
Your smokes don't light right in the rain
Daddy got into some trouble
So they crushed one of his hands
Mom left when the good times had ended
And then Daddy just drank and got mad
He'd take it all out on poor Helen
The bruises she had, what a sight
But one day he let loose
And was slappin' me too
And Helen stabbed him right there with a knife
I know if I'd just known him early
He'd have been so much sweeter to me
We'd be like those girls in the park there
On a playground on a Sunday in spring
With daddies who were always smiling
Protecting their girls if they cried
Always telling them nice things
Like "I love you, I'm glad you're alive"
There's gotta be something
Worth saving in each
There's gotta be something
Worth saving in me
Smokes don't light right in the rain
Your smokes don't light right in the rain
Your smokes don't light right in the rain
We did okay on the streets then
Helen and me, we got by
'Til all of that talk about voices
Robots talkin' to her in her mind
