Original Mixed - Up Kid Lyrics - Mott The Hoople

(ian hunter) 

The original mixed-up kid 

Sleeps with the ladies all night 

Home in the morning light 

To nothin' 

Climbs in to an empty bed 

Pillows around his head 

Hide the tears he sheds 

For no one 

And byron said happiness is born it's twin 

In those who share, for they will always win 

But what about the man who tries so hard 

But his heart is locked within 

The original mixed-up kid 

Must have been at the end of the line 

When they gave out the forms to sign 

For someone 

And he can't make up his mind where he wants to go 

Ain't there a heaven ain't there a hell well he just don't know 

For in a crowded street he can see the sleet 

When the other men just see the snow 

The original mixed-up kid be on your conscience bound (? ) 

For you turned him upside down for nothin'
