Bad News Baby

Bad news baby is so disturbed

Always lying awake in fright

No disaster escapes that girl

It’s a permanent state of mind

All of the headlines keep her up, keep her up

And even rumours are serious

And never mind that I give her my love

It’s not enough

There’s no looking up

For my bad news baby

Bad News Baby’s afraid of fire

Voices rattle inside her head

You can wrap her up in barbed wire

But you can’t kill her sense of dread

All of the headlines keep her up, keep her up

And even rumours are serious

And never mind that I give her my love

It’s not enough

There’s no looking up

For my bad news baby

Bad News Baby, no need to fret

Bad News Baby, I’ll help you forget

Bad News Baby, we could pretend we’re happy

But you won’t listen to me

All of the headlines keep her up, keep her up

And even rumours are serious

And never mind that I give her my love

It’s not enough

There’s no looking up

For my bad news baby
