Idiot

Baby, don't you cry
Baby, i'll sing you a lullabye

We're walking down the
Street of chance
Where the chance is always
Slim or none
And the intentions unjust

Baby there's nothing to see
I've already been
Down the street of chance

Baby you're so clean
Baby please stay clean
Baby you're so young
Baby please stay young
Baby, don't you cry
Baby, we've already cried

I could escape this feeling
With my china girl
I'm just a wreck without
My little china girl
I'd hear hearts beating
Loud as thunder
See the stars crashing
I'm a mess without
My chlna girl
Wake up mornings there's
No china girl
I'd hear hearts beating
Loud asthunder
I'd see the stars crashing down
I'd feel tragic
Like i was marlon brando
When i'd look at my china girl
I could pretend that nothing
Really meant too much
When i'd look at my china girl
I'd stumble into town
Just like a sacred cow
Visions of swasticas in my head
And plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes
My little china girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men who want
To rule the world
And when i get excited
My little china girl says
Oh jimmy just you
Shut your mouth
She says "shhhh...'

Calling sister midnight
You've got me reaching for the moon
Calling sister midnight
You've got me playing the fool
Calling sister midnight

Calling sister midnight
Can you hear me call
Can you hear me well
Can you hear me at all
Calling sister midnight
I'm an idiot for you
Calling sister midnight
I'm a breakage inside
Calling sister midnight
Calling sister midnight
You know i had a dream last night
Mother was in my bed
And i made love to her
Father he gunned for me
Hunted me with his six gun
Calling sister midnight
What can i do about my dreams

Listen to me sister midnight
You put a beggar in my heart
Calling sister midnight
You've got me walking in rags
Hey where are you sister midnight
Can you hear me call
Can you hear me well
Can you hear me at all

Things have been tough
Without the dum dum boys
I can't seem to speak
The language
I remember how they
Used to stare at the ground
They looked as if they
Put the whole world
Looked as if they put
The whole world down

The first time i saw
The dum dum boys
I was fascinated
They just stood in front
Of the old drug store
I was most impressed
No one else was impressed
Not at all
And we'd sing
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Dum dum day
Where are you now my
Dum dum boys are you
Alive or dead
Have you left me the last
Of the dum dum daze
Then the sun goes down
And the boys broke down

People said we were negative
They said we'd take but
We would never give
But we'd sing da-da-da
Da-da-da dum dum day
Da-da-da-da-da dum
And hope it would pay
Da-da-da-da it's been
A dumdumdum day
A dum dum day

Now i'm looking for
The dum dum boys
Where are you now
When i need your noise

Now i'm looking for
The dum dum boys
The walls close in and
I need some noise
