The News From Your Bed - Bishop Allen[00:00:00]
You were saving the date[00:00:10]
But you woke up too late[00:00:12]
Pulled the covers down over your head[00:00:14]
You haven't left your front door[00:00:18]
For a week maybe more[00:00:19]
Tell me hey what's the news from your bed[00:00:21]
You know your face is all covered with[00:00:25]
Your birthday cake[00:00:27]
That you're eating in the kitchen at home[00:00:28]
Another banner year a splendid day[00:00:32]
Another inch or two that you've grown[00:00:36]
But it's hard to celebrate on your own[00:00:39]
There's a mouse in cupboard[00:00:43]
That nibbles your crumbs[00:00:45]
And you talk to him every night[00:00:47]
You say “Hey Mr Whiskers [00:00:50]
I'm bored and I'm numb[00:00:52]
You can stay if you just treat me right ”[00:00:54]
Just last year you were fortunate baby[00:00:58]
And your friends circled around you in droves[00:01:01]
Are they thinking of you Maybe just maybe[00:01:05]
But not a one has bothered to phone[00:01:09]
Tell me where oh where did they go[00:01:12]
Called a car an hour ago[00:01:31]
You're gonna take yourself out[00:01:38]
Despite the cold and snow[00:01:41]
Did they forget about you[00:01:45]
Are they in on it too [00:01:48]
You're sitting looking in the mirror[00:01:52]
At your dancing shoes[00:01:56]
When your family calls you make nice to them all[00:02:01]
And assure them you're fine and you're great[00:02:05]
Then you cry in the bath cry so hard that you laugh[00:02:08]
Then you watch television til late[00:02:12]
Who do you need Nobody [00:02:16]
You're lucky nobody's around[00:02:20]
I can pour my own drinks[00:02:23]
No thanks Mister Go on and get out of town[00:02:25]
And you're gorgeous in your evening gown[00:02:30]
