Lyrics

I've got a little black book with my poems in I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in .

When I'm good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in .

I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on .

Got those swollen hand blues .

Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.

To choose from .

I've got electric light .

And I've got second sight .

I've got amazing powers of observation .

And that is how I know .

When I try to get through on the telephone to you .

There'll be nobody home .

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm .

And I've got the inevitable pinhole burns all down the front of my favorite satin shirt .

I've got nicotine stains on my fingers .

I've got a silver spoon on a chain .

I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains .

I've got wild staring eyes .

I've got a strong urge to fly, but I've got nowhere to fly to .

Ooooh Babe when i pick up the phone,

There's still nobody home .

I've got a pair of Gohills boots and I've got fading roots .
