Oh, Oscar

Oh, oscar

I thought i wanted you but

Now i'm here in the crux

In the dark and the dust

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 its 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 god damned country
