in a river, the color of lead
|
emerged the baby's head
|
wrap her up in the news of the world
|
dump her on a doorstep, girl
|
|
this night has opened my eyes
|
and i will never sleep again
|
|
you kicked and cried
|
like a bullied child
|
a grown man of 25
|
he said he's cure your ills
|
but he didn't and he never will
|
|
so--so save your life
|
because you only got one
|
the dream is gone but the baby is real
|
|
oh--you did a good thing
|
she could have been a poet or she could have been a fool
|
oh--you did a bad thing
|
and i'm not happy and i'm not sad
|
|
a chilvirous child on a swing
|
remind you of your mom again?
|
she took away your troubles
|
oh--but then again she left pain
|
|
so--so save your life
|
because you only got one
|
the dream is gone but the baby is real
|
|
oh--you did a good thing
|
she could have been a poet or she could have been a fool
|
oh--you did a bad thing
|
and i'm not happy and i'm not sad
|
|
you did a bad thing
|
you did a bad thing
|
and i'm not happy and i'm not sad
|
[repeat 2x]
