Mrs. Gridley from Early Days by Rueben Gurr

MRS GRIDLEY Rueben Gurr 2010 ©

Lock the door Mrs Gridley and bring me more coffee
i think i'm gonna have a busy day accept no calls i'm a climbin the walls
tell everybody i'm a wastin away
i'm on a first name basis with somebody's wife and a big oak desk to rest my shoes
some body screamin three floors above
i could jump out the window for lack of love

take a letter mrs Gridley and bring me more coffee
I think i'm gonna have a busy day and get another pack of that evil tabac
as my body falls in to more decay i had apple pie for lunch and it hurts me
papers pilin higher round me every minute
trafffic below me louder than sin
i'm a losin so bad you'd think i don't wanna win

well i got no business treatin me so bad
i used to be the best friend that i ever had
well i got no business dancin on this tightrope
every day I’m a sinking lower losin hope

where's my pills mrs Gridley I got no business stretching myself so thin
all around me do I see crazy people lookin for a door to get in
i'm on a first name basis with the man in the vault
petty cash is gone and my wndows need washin
think i hear something scratching at my door
i don't think i can take any more

lock the door Mrs Gridley
where’s my pills Mrs Gridley?
Let’s get outta here Mrs Gridley
