Jimmy’s Song

Jimmy sleeps in the bathroom
He loves the colour white
He'll stay in there for hours
Sometimes through the night
Mom and Dad wait in the kitchen
Drinking coffee and holding hands
They talk around the circles
'Cause they don't understand

Sometimes he looks through you
As if you were not there
He doesn't know it hurts you
He's gone too far to care
And he'll steal your money
Steal your love and bleed you dry
Give it all to the Candy Man
Who thought him how to fly

Lately he's been clever
He shoots up between his toes
That way he hides the track marks
He thinks that no-one knows
It makes you want to hold him
And help him through the night
Put your arms around him
And tell him it's allright

He's there in every city
He's there in every town
Hanging in 'til the next day
Another deal going down
But he won't let you hold him
Or help him through the night
Jimmy sleeps in the bathroom
'Cause he loves the colour white
