Oh Oscar, I thought I wanted you
But now I'm here in the crux
In the dark and the dust
In the cold and the damp
'Neath the old fashioned lamp
And I am soberly lured
By the day I've endured
As I trace my steps back to the start
Oh Oscar, your veneer's golden mirth
My career's natural birth and it's ultimate fall
I found a couple flints to make a spark
And set a fire in their hearts
Oh Oscar, like the tree bursts in snow
All I wanted was to know
If there's anyone like me
A single person who can see
In this whole goddamned country
