Daddy comes home when she still sleeps
Waiting for the world's worst crime
And he comes up the stairs like he aways does
And he never turns on the lights
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
Goodnight
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
Goodnight
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 beasts in his mind don't care
And the only sound 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
Goodnight
