And Oedipus, dear Oedipus.
Doomed to wander, lost and sad
you never should have let her go
There’s a bomb ticking in your brain
And your turning over new stones
Stuttering in the same tongue
Everyone’s watching
Sighing
This has been predicted
And yet
You kept staggering, saying it’s ok, it’s ok
Ignoring the threat the sphinx posed
But you kept staggering
Singing, it’s ok, it’s ok
Oh Oedipus, dear Oedipus
Lost and strange
Never taking heed
The story’s been played out before
But you keep staggering
Now singing to yourself
It’s not ok, it’s not ok
And no one’s offering a hand
