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 am
There's a girl outside and she'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 outside and he's screaming his father was never there
There's a girl inside and she's screaming at the whole wide world, one hair at a time
There's a boy outside and he's holding a picture unto his head
There's a girl inside who's scratch and the blood's on fire, on fire today

I'm trying so hard to keep my eyes still
Against the whole wide world, to make her love me
Whitfield was my world
Whole, wide, world, wide, world, wide, world, wide! [x3]

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
