She Takes a Pill

Each time her hair gets wet

It likes to pirouette

Along her silhouette

And rest upon her skin

And bolts of silver light go spiralling

And I just hope I make the time to take it in

When she gets tired, it takes all she's got to stay awake

When she gets wired, well, you can't get a word in edgeways

When she gets sad, she takes it bad, but she don't complain

And when she gets ill, she takes a pill to ease the pain

When she gets ill, she takes a pill to ease the pain

And when her eyes get lost

Then pretty soon her life gets tossed aside

And like those silver locks, her mind goes spinning wild

What kind of god would wish this on his child

A heart that breaks and heals a thousand times

When she gets tired, it takes all she's got to stay awake

When she gets wired, well, you can't get a word in edgeways

When she gets sad, she takes it bad, but she don't complain

And when she gets ill, she takes a pill to ease the pain

When she gets ill, she takes a pill to ease the pain

And if she needs a shoulder, she can take mine and be stronger still

Until the aching's over, my girl, she takes a pill

When she gets tired, it takes all she's got to stay awake

When she gets wired, well, you can't get a word in edgeways

When she gets sad, she takes it bad, but she don't complain

And when she gets ill, she takes a pill to ease the pain

When she gets ill, she takes a pill to ease the pain

When she gets ill, she takes a pill to ease the pain
