Stephen Malkmus And The Million Dollar Bashers - Ballad Of A Thin Man Lyrics

Send "Ballad Of A Thin Man" ringtone to your cell

You walk into the room with your pencil in your hand

You see somebody naked you say "Who is that man?"

You try so hard but you don't understand

Just what you'll say when you get home

But there something is happening here

And you don't know what it is

Do you Mister Jones?

You raise up your head you ask "Is this where it is?"

And somebody points to you and says "It's his"

And you say "What's mine?"

And somebody else says "Where what is?"

And you say "Oh my God am I here all alone?"

It just something is happened here

But you don't know what it is

Do you Mister Jones?

So you hand in your ticket you go watch the geek

Who immediately walks up to you when he hears you speak

And says "Well how does it feel my friend to be such a freak?"

And you say "Impossible" as he hands you a bone

You're positive that something is happening here

But you don't know what it is

Do you Mister Jones?

You've so many contacts [Incomprehensible] among the lumberjacks

To get you facts when someone attacks your imagination

But nobody has any respect anyway they already expect

You to just give a check to tax-deductible charity organizations

You've been with the professors and they've all liked your looks

With great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooks

You've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books

You're very well read yeah it's well known

'Cause something is still happening here

Don't know what it is

Do you Mister Jones?

The sword swallower

He comes up to you and then he kneels

Crosses himself and then he clicks his high heels

Without further notice he tells you how it feels

And he says "Here is your mouth back thanks for the loan"

And you know something is happening here

But you don't know what it is

Do you Mister Jones?

Now you see this one-eyed midget shouting the word "NOW"

And you say "For what reason?" And he says "How?"

And you say "Good God what's happenin'?"

And he screams back "You're a cow

And give me some milk or go home"

Yes and now you're positive something's happening

And you wish you know what it was

Do you Mister Jones?

Well you walk into the room like a camel and then you frown

You put your eyes in your pocket nose in the ground

There ought to be a law against you comin' 'round

You should be made to wear some earphones

'Cause something is happened here

You don't know what it is

Do you Mister Jones?
