Boy with a Problem

He tries so hard to get himself together But he's so weak he couldn't lift a feather And it looks as though it's gonna be bad weather When he comes down from the clouds His mother says, I wish he'd should stop his drinking He's like a ship that's on the verge of sinking But she don't see his pupils as they're shrinking When he's away in the clouds He's just a boy with a problem he can't conceal He thinks he's controlling his habit But soon from this earth He will leave He used to be a very happy fellow And everything he did was very mellow But now his skin is slowly turning yellow Looking just like a bad dream He used to play a melody so pretty On a silver stick a long way from the city But now my heart is so filled up with pity What can we do with him now He's just a boy with a problem he can't conceal He thinks he's controlling his habit But soon from this earth He will leave I'm gonna write a song and send it to him And maybe he will see just what I'm feelin' I've still got love and hope and my affection To keep him from fading away The earth is pure, its veins are rivers of water And man should be as a father to a daughter But he does what he likes, because he thinks he's bought her Laughing while he injects her with his filth He's just a boy with a problem, lost out in space We're turning him into a junkie, look at his face What a disgrace
