I've been walking the streets
I've been walking all alone
Counting all the wires
That connect all the homes
But the counting is absurd
I've been fleeing to bars to kill my nerves
But with my shot of George Dickel
And looking in the mirror
Looking like some loner murderer
I never, never, never, never wanna look like a loner murderer
Can't I ever, ever just be some kind of happy sheep herderеr
(Humming)
Yes my brain is too full
Overflowing my brain
I must make a list
Of all thе lists I must make
And the first is to start
Looking to Jesus
My love is such a sham
But I'm so lazy how can I change?
And there's lightning Larry looking for me
Is this what I've heard? (What he heard?)
Ahh the fat cat monster own me
But it's not his turn (not his turn)
And here comes my landlord
I hope she doesn't see me
Hide, I have to hide, as she crosses the street
I'm feeling forsaken, all too human
Sad, lost, naked, and stupid
And I never, never, never, wanna feel naked and stupid
Can't I ever, ever, ever just be some kind of "A" student
(Humming)
And you've been so lovely (nope)
And you've been so lovely
So sweet and so kind
You hid me away and kept me in wine
I wanna hold you in the long dark fight
But I told Walter I'd have his money at midnight
And besides, Celeste will be there
I wanna stand like an actor
Blow smoke into the air
I want to hm hm hm hm hm hm hmmm
Hm hm hm hm hm hmmm
