Letra de The news from your bed

You were saving the date
But you woke up too late
Pulled the covers down over your head
You haven´t left your front door
For a week maybe more
Tell me, hey, what´s the news from your bed
You know your face is all covered with your birthday cake
That you´re eating in the kitchen at home
Another banner year, a splendid day
Another inch or two that you´ve grown
But it´s hard to celebrate on your own

There´s a mouse in cupboard that nibbles your crumbs
And you talk to him every night
You say, â??Hey, Mr. Whiskers, I´m bored and I´m numb
You can stay if you just treat me right.�
Just last year you were fortunate baby
And your friends circled around you in droves
Are they thinking of you? Maybe just maybe
But not a one has bothered to phone
Tell me where oh where did they go

Called a car an hour ago
You´re gonna take yourself out
Despite the cold and snow
Did they forget about you
Are they in on it too?
You´re sitting looking in the mirror
At your dancing shoes

When your family calls you make nice to them all
And assure them you´re fine and you´re great
Then you cry in the bath, cry so hard that you laugh
Then you watch television til late
Who do you need? Nobody.
You´re lucky nobody´s around
I can pour my own drinks
No thanks, Mister. Go on, and get out of town
And you´re gorgeous in your evening gown.
