He's got a powerful friend Who owes him nothing and knows how to spend Lives in his apartment for free Waits on the table at tea Whips up the coffee and cream Sometimes cries or he'd scream
Phones for the grocery van The milkman delivers and the newspapers land When he gets home overnight His old man mutters and puts up a fight Over some political scheme Sometimes cries or he'd scream
Spends all his days en coucher There's absolutely nothing new to do but delay The plan to take a different stand When pizza boys deliver what he needs on demand Eyes lit with a nicotine gleam Sometimes cries or he'd scream
