From the recording Whodunit
How Nellie remembers her father. Emotional and airy pop song with piano and strings.
Lyrics
Lying in a wooden coffin, candles all around
His face white and bloated, I cry without a sound
In front a thoughtful photo, in his eyes a playful side
He loved Elvis as a crooner, a thing he wanted to hide
Felled by a so-called heart attack
The whole family was taken aback
O, daddy’s dead
And I miss him so
He liked solving riddles, sometimes disagreed with math
Cos the sum of zeroes can result in a real blood bath
An avid reader who tried to pass that thirst to us
Only succeeded with me while the others made a fuss
You don't need a password for a book
Find the message, just have a look
O, daddy’s dead
And I miss him so
He was killed because he knew too much
After the cremation there's no more proof as such
There's no room for faith anymore
His disappearance a sad metaphor
O, daddy’s dead
And I miss him so
