Из альбома: Safe and Sound: A Benefit in Response to the Brookline Clinic Violence

Written by Harry Nilsson
Sit beside the breakfast table
Think about your troubles
Pour yourself a cup of tea,
And think about the bubbles
You can take your teardrops and drop 'em in a teacup
Take em down to the riverside,
And throw em over the east side
To be swept up by a current
And taken to the ocean
To be eaten by some fishes,
Who were eaten by some fishes
And swallowed by a whale,
Who grew so old,
He decomposed
He died and left his body
To the bottom of the ocean
Now everybody knows that when a body decomposes
The basic elements are given back to the ocean,
Then sea does what it oughta:
Consume the salty water (not too good for drinkin'),
'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop (so you run it through a filter),
And it comes out of the faucet (when it pours into the teapot),
Which is just about to bubble
Now think about your troubles
Now,are you sleeping?
Can you hear me now?
