Ballad Of A Thin Man [Live, April 1, 1988[00:00:00]
You walk into the room[00:00:27]
With your pencil in your hand[00:00:29]
You see somebody naked[00:00:33]
And you say "Who is that man "[00:00:34]
You try so hard[00:00:39]
But you don't understand[00:00:41]
Just what you'll say[00:00:44]
When you get home[00:00:46]
Because something is happening here[00:00:50]
But you don't know what it is[00:00:54]
Do you Mister Jones [00:00:57]
You raise up your head[00:01:06]
And you ask "Is this where it is "[00:01:08]
And somebody points to you and says[00:01:12]
"It's his"[00:01:15]
And you say "What's mine "[00:01:18]
And somebody else says "Where what is "[00:01:19]
And you say "Oh my God[00:01:23]
Am I here all alone "[00:01:25]
Because something is happening here[00:01:30]
But you don't know what it is[00:01:33]
Do you Mister Jones [00:01:36]
You hand in your ticket[00:01:46]
And you go watch the geek[00:01:49]
Who immediately walks up to you[00:01:52]
When he hears you speak[00:01:54]
And says "How does it feel[00:01:58]
To be such a freak "[00:02:00]
And you say "Impossible"[00:02:03]
As he hands you a bone[00:02:05]
Because something is happening here[00:02:10]
But you don't know what it is[00:02:13]
Do you Mister Jones [00:02:16]
You have many contacts[00:02:26]
Among the lumberjacks[00:02:29]
To get you facts[00:02:30]
When someone attacks your imagination[00:02:32]
But nobody has any respect[00:02:38]
Anyway they already expect you[00:02:42]
To just give a check[00:02:44]
To tax-deductible charity organizations[00:02:47]
You've been with the professors[00:03:34]
And they've all liked your looks[00:03:36]
With great lawyers you have[00:03:40]
Discussed lepers and crooks[00:03:42]
You've been through all of[00:03:46]
F Scott Fitzgerald's books[00:03:47]
You're very well read[00:03:51]
It's well known[00:03:54]
Because something is happening here[00:03:58]
But you don't know what it is[00:04:01]
Do you Mister Jones [00:04:05]
Well the sword swallower he comes up to you[00:04:14]
And then he kneels[00:04:16]
He crosses himself[00:04:21]
And then he clicks his high heels[00:04:23]
And without further notice[00:04:27]
He asks you how it feels[00:04:28]
And he says "Here is your throat back[00:04:31]
Thanks for the loan"[00:04:34]
Because something is happening here[00:04:38]
But you don't know what it is[00:04:41]
Do you Mister Jones [00:04:45]
Now you see this one-eyed midget[00:04:54]
Shouting the word "NOW"[00:04:57]
And you say "For what reason "[00:05:01]
And he says "How "[00:05:03]
And you say "What does this mean "[00:05:07]
And he screams back "You're a cow[00:05:09]
Give me some milk[00:05:11]
Or else go home"[00:05:13]
Because something is happening here[00:05:18]
But you don't know what it is[00:05:21]
Do you Mister Jones [00:05:25]
Well you walk into the room[00:05:35]
Like a camel and then you frown[00:05:37]
You put your eyes in your pocket[00:05:41]
And your nose on the ground[00:05:44]
There ought to be a law[00:05:47]
Against you coming around[00:05:49]
You should be made[00:05:52]
To wear earphones[00:05:54]
Because something is happening here[00:05:59]
But you don't know what it is[00:06:02]
Do you Mister Jones[00:06:05]
