Whitfield -

There’s a man outside

And he’s screaming that the elephants

Are trampling, trampling, his father in his sleep

There’s a girl outside

And she’s screaming that the worlds on fire

On fire today

There’s a man inside

And he’s screaming for his noon time pills

At nine AM

And there’s a girl outside

Who’s screaming at the whole wide world

One hair at a time

I’m trying so hard

To keep my eyes still

Against the whole wide world

To make her love me

Whitfield was my world today

Love me

Against the whole wide world, cause she won’t love me

Whitfield was my world

There’s a man inside

And he’s screaming that his father

Was never there

There’s a girl outside

And she’s screaming at the whole wide world

One day at a time

There’s a boy inside

And he’s holding a picture

Unto his head

There’s a girl outside

Who’s screaming that the worlds on fire

On fire today

I’m trying so hard to keep my eyes still

Against the whole wide world

To make her love me

Whitfield was my world today

Love me

Against the whole wide world

Cause she won’t love me

Whitfield was my world

Whole wide world wide world wide world wide (x4)

Against the whole wide world

To make her love me

Whitfield was my world today

Love me

Against the whole wide world

Cause she won’t love me

Whitfield was my world

The worlds on fire (x7)

The worlds on fire… today
