I Can’t Find Nobody Home

Left my home to join the circus, I said, "Paint me on a smile
Strap me to your trapeze and let me hang around"
Then the circus freaks begin to compliment my style
They still gather when I'm flying and disappear when I come down

Oh, I, I can't find nobody home
Everyone I know is gone, gone
I, I need shelter from the storm
But I, I can't find nobody home

The agents in my office discuss the land of Oz
And they say that's why they put me on the road
But the slickers and the tricks keep trying to take my yellow bricks
And the princes and the lily pond croakin' like a toad

Oh, I, I can't find nobody home
Everyone I know is gone, gone
I, I need shelter from the storm
But I, I can't find nobody home

I'll be sitting in your living rooms, singing in your halls
Rolling in your clover 'fore I'm through
And I'll be hiding in your hotels and crawling up your walls
And if you catch me on your jukebox, you can punch me 'til I'm blue

Oh, I, I can't find nobody home
Everyone I know is gone, gone
I, I need shelter from the storm
But I, I can't find nobody home
I, I can't find nobody home

I, I can't find nobody home
Everyone I know is gone, gone
I, I need shelter from the storm
But I, I can't find nobody home

I, I can't find nobody home
Everyone I know is gone, gone
I, I need shelter from the storm
