BALLAD OF A THIN MAN

you walk into your room with your pencil in your hand
you see somebody naked and you say "who is that man?"
you try so hard but you don't understand
just what you'll say when you get home
cause something is happening here but you don't know what it is • do you Mr. Jones?

you raise up your head and you ask "is this where it is ?"
and somebody points to you and says "it's his"
and you say "what's mine ?" and somebody else says "where what is ?"
and you say "oh my God ! am I here all alone ?"
cause something is happening here and you don't know what it is • do you Mr. Jones?

you hand in your ticket and you go watch the geek
who immediately walks up to you when he hears you speak
and says "how does it feel to be such a freak ?"
and you say "impossible" as he hands you a bone
cause something is happening here and you don't know what it is • do you Mr. Jones?

	you have many contacts among the lumberjacks
	to get you facts when someone attacks your imagination
	but nobody has any respect • anyway they already expect you
	to just give a check to tax-deductible charity organizations

you've been with the professors and they've all liked your looks
with great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooks
you've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgeralds books
you're very well read • it's well known
but something is happening here and you don't know what it is • do you Mr. Jones?

well the world swallower he comes up to you and then he kneels
he crosses himself and then he clicks his big heals
and without further notice he asks you how it feels
and he says "here is your throat back • thank you for the loan"
and something is happening here and you don't know what it is • do you M. Jones?

well you walk into the room like a camel and then you frown
you put your eyes in your pocket and your nose on the ground
there ought to be a law against you coming around
you should be made to wear earphones
cause something is happening here and you don't know what it is • do you M. Jones?
