Daniel, You're Still A Child

Daniel, you did it, you made me cry

You spent ten days in bed when I asked you why

And requested my whereabouts through tweets

Darling, why do you bury yourself in sheets? Well, I told you

There's unrest in the House of Lords

Written on sandwich boards

Outside the shop where they sell your favourite drink

So what do you think you're doing telling people lies?

The hope's going like Christmas pies

But it's never gonna stop you turning pink

Daniel, you know it, you wanted to

Find a place on your own like you always do

I'd bear in mind

Daniel, you're still a child

Daniel's gone running, the trail's gone cold

You've been acting quite strangely since ten years old

And when you were eleven

They said, "You ought to pray to high heaven you don't get caught"

Well, Daniel, don't worry, you won't be missed

You'll spend ten years in prison to pay for this

Ah, is it all worthwhile?

Daniel, you're still a child

You got a death wish, child

Four cans of pesticide to drink

4:30 Western Time

The boy's been arrested, why do you think?

Daniel, you're still a child

Daniel, you're still a child

What is wrong with Daniel, he's no fun

You just wait 'till Daniel hurts someone

Daniel, you're a weirdo, what the hell?

You just wait 'till Daniel hurts himself
