Whitfield Lyrics - The Crash Of '47 - Atomship

Whole wide world 

There's a man outside and he's screaming 

That the elephants are trampling 

Trampling his father in his sleep 

There's a girl outside and she's screaming 

That the world's on fire, on fire today 

There's a man inside and he's screaming 

For his noon time pills at nine A.M. 

There's a girl outside who's screaming 

At the whole wide world, one hair at a time 

I'm trying so hard to keep my eyes still 

Against the whole wide world 

To make her love me 

Whitfield was my world today 

Love me 

Against the whole wide world 

'Cause she won't love me 

Whitfield was my world 

There's a man inside and he's screaming 

His father was never there 

There's a girl outside who's screaming 

At the whole wide world, one hair at a time 

There's a boy inside and he's holding 

A picture unto his head 

There's a girl outside who's scratch 

And the blood's on fire, on fire today 

I'm trying so hard to keep my head still 

Against the whole wide world 

To make her love me 

Whitfield was my world today 

Love me 

Against the whole wide world 

'Cause she won't love me 

Whitfield was my world 

Whole wide, world wide, world wide, world wide 

Whole wide, world wide, world wide, world wide 

Whole wide, world wide, world wide, world wide 

Whole wide, world wide, world wide, world wide 

Against the whole wide world 

To make her love me 

Whitfield was my world today 

Love me 

Against the whole wide world 

'Cause she won't love me 

Whitfield was my world 

The world's on fire
