What's the matter now, little boy
You look bewildered and sad
I tell you honey, the boy replied
I think I've lost my own dad
I saw him down by the swimming pool
It was the 14th of May
He had an oxygen cylinder
And I could hear myself say

I'm hanging out with dad in the middle of the night
I'm hanging out with dad and I feel all right

The officer in question was John Keats
And she had Shelley her friend
They stood around by the fire hydrant
For hours and hours without end
They found him down by the viaduct
Where all her alleyways flow
And he was stroking a golden dog
And crying into the snow

I'm hanging out with dad in the middle of the night
I'm hanging out with dad and I feel all right

It's time for you to be positive
About your slimy old man
Cause if you're gonna turn into him
You'd better do what you can
And if you live to be 51
Well may I make one request
That you look up to the burning sun
And say you love me the best, cause

I'm hanging out with dad in the middle of the night
I'm hanging out with dad and I feel all right
I'm hanging out with dad in the middle of the night
I'm hanging out with dad and I feel all right
Just gimme some oxygen
Just gimme some oxygen
Just gimme some oxygen
Just gimme some oxygen...
