The landlady, his husband,
Since he left them both ten years ago
The dark down road of his approach
and constant rain was drenched
The tenant's boy said, do you do?
Did you teach this little child
That's the way to treat a child
who cries out in the night
And he's the living of an evil world
There needs to live another day,
There's a place where time stands still
If you keep taking these little pink pills,
Hush your mouth, you hypocrite
The tight -lipped leer of judgment
That had seen her love deserted
just like sleep filthy words on children's lips
are better my dear spouse
than if I were to speak my
oh, he's a bad little bird
and he's livin' up a little low
and he's livin' up a little low
There's a place where time stands still
You keep takin' these little pink pills
And each one wishin' that
Till he dropped out the head
He danced upon the bonfire
Swallowed sleeping pills like dreams
With a bottle of sweet sherry that
Woah -oh, he's a battered old bird
There's a place where time stands still
You keep takin' these little big pills,
And then the typewriter's
rattlin' all through the night
He's beggin' you for breakfast time
He says, one day I'll throw
And it is always Christmas
in a cupboard at the top of the stairs
Woah, he's a bad little bird
And he's a -living up there,
And he's a -living up there, woah, woah
And there's a place where
Well, here's a boy, developed a wise
Who's gonna do big things
I guess that's what they all say
And that's how the trouble begins
I've seen them rise and fall
through their big deals and smalls
And he better have a dream
that goes beyond four walls
You think he should be sent outside
When pieces of him are already
Pieces of him are already
and he's a -living out there
and he's a -living out there
There's a place where time stands still
If you keep taking these little big pills
