I talked to someone else's problem
He was a little bit shorter than you
Don't interrupt me whilst I'm talking
I know that it's easy to do
And he's long gone by the time that he goes
If you follow
Or if you'd care to
I called him the cops
They said he'd had a bad month
He found him some money
He went and filled up his pill box
It was a little bit shorter than you
If you follow
Or if you'd care to
And as the man caught that bus
And the bus caught that man
And as the woman drank that water
And the water drank that woman
And as the girl took those drugs
And the drugs took that girl
And I sat there stone-dumb
And I didn't know where I was
I was a few blocks from home
I talked to someone else's problem
He said, "You got any money?"
