Lyrics Ballad of a Thin Man (Live at Nippon Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan - February 28, 1978) - Bob Dylan
You
walk
into
the
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
What
you're
gonna
say
when
you
get
home?
Something
is
happening
here,
and
you
don't
know
what
it
is
Do
you,
Mr.
Jones?
You
come
in
through
the
back
door,
and
you
say,
"Is
this
where
it
is?"
Somebody
points
his
finger
at
you
and
says,
"It's
his"
You
say,
"What's
mine?",
somebody
else
says,
"Well,
what
is?"
And
you
say,
"Oh,
my
God,
am
I
here
all
alone?"
But
something
is
happening,
and
you
don't
know
what
it
is
Do
you,
Mr.
Jones?
You
hand
in
your
ticket
to
go
see
the
geek
Who
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
Something
is
happening,
and
you
don't
know
what
it
is
Do
you,
Mr.
Jones?
You
have
many
contacts
out
there
among
the
lumberjacks
To
get
your
facts
when
someone
attacks
your
imagination
(imagination)
But
nobody
has
any
respect
And
the
way
they
just
expect
you
to
hand
over
your
cheque
To
tax-deductible
charity
organizations
The
sword
swallower
walks
up
to
you
and
he
kneels
He
crosses
himself
and
then,
he
clicks
his
high
heels
Without
further
notice,
he
asks
you
how
it
feels
And
says,
"Here
is
your
throat
back,
thanks
for
the
loan"
Something
is
happening,
and
you
don't
know
what
it
is
Do
you,
Mr.
Jones?
You
crawl
into
the
room
like
a
camel
and
you
frown
You
put
your
eyes
in
your
pocket
and
your
nose
into
the
ground
There
ought
to
be
a
law
against
you
comin'
around
You
got
to
be
made
to
be
wearing
a
telephone
'Cause
something's
happening,
but
you
don't
know
what
it
is
Do
you,
Mr.
Jones?
Something
is
happening
here,
and
you
don't
know
what
it
is
Do
you,
Mr.
Jones?
Thank
you
