He takes pills, five of them a day
Goes to work with a happy face
See Joan, dancing in the aisles all green
Oh that girl, so obscene and
Tick-tock, in his mind just never stops
“What do you want what do you want
You can take it all!”
In one way I don’t blame him, love is
Bound to drain inside having the
Best girl of the universe
By your side
With the way the world is, I don’t know
What he’ll do
Might go nuts and then blame it on the politics
All the nightmares he’s had of white pills
Chasing him round and round
What is burying you into the ground

Don’t cry
I’ll ease your mind
You are my gift
Don’t you know
The world is on fire

His glory girl so full of life
He better know her future should be bright
Dark eyes, the kind that make you hypnotised
From far away you won’t lose her
She took photographs of her fate
And watched the pupils dilate

Don’t cry
I’ll ease your mind
You are my gift
Don’t you know
The world is on fire
