I'm Not There movie - Ballad Of A Thin Man lyrics
rate meSong by Stephen Malkmus<br /><br>
You walk into the room <br>
With your pencil in your hand <br>
You see somebody naked <br>
And you say, "Who is that man?" <br>
You try so hard <br>
But you don't understand <br>
Just what you'll say <br>
When you get home <br>
<br>
Because something is happening here <br>
But you don't know what it is <br>
Do you, Mister Jones? <br>
<br>
You raise up your head <br>
And you ask, "Is this where it is?" <br>
And somebody points to you and says <br>
"It's his" <br>
And you say, "What's mine?" <br>
And somebody else says, "Where what is?" <br>
And you say, "Oh my God <br>
Am I here all alone?" <br>
<br>
Because something is happening here <br>
But you don't know what it is <br>
Do you, Mister Jones? <br>
<br>
You hand in your ticket <br>
And you go watch the geek <br>
Who immediately walks up to you <br>
When he hears you speak <br>
And says, "How does it feel <br>
To be such a freak?" <br>
And you say, "Impossible" <br>
As he hands you a bone <br>
<br>
Because something is happening here <br>
But you don't know what it is <br>
Do you, Mister Jones? <br>
<br>
You have many contacts <br>
Among the lumberjacks <br>
To get you facts <br>
When someone attacks your imagination <br>
But nobody has any respect <br>
Anyway they already expect you <br>
To just give a check <br>
To tax-deductible charity organizations <br>
<br>
You've been with the professors <br>
And they've all liked your looks <br>
With great lawyers you have <br>
Discussed lepers and crooks <br>
You've been through all of <br>
F. Scott Fitzgerald's books <br>
You're very well read <br>
It's well known <br>
<br>
Because something is happening here <br>
But you don't know what it is <br>
Do you, Mister Jones? <br>
<br>
Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you <br>
And then he kneels <br>
He crosses himself <br>
And then he clicks his high heels <br>
And without further notice <br>
He asks you how it feels <br>
And he says, "Here is your throat back <br>
Thanks for the loan" <br>
<br>
Because something is happening here <br>
But you don't know what it is <br>
Do you, Mister Jones? <br>
<br>
Now you see this one-eyed midget <br>
Shouting the word "NOW" <br>
And you say, "For what reason?" <br>
And he says, "How?" <br>
And you say, "What does this mean?" <br>
And he screams back, "You're a cow <br>
Give me some milk <br>
Or else go home" <br>
<br>
Because something is happening here <br>
But you don't know what it is <br>
Do you, Mister Jones? <br>
<br>
Well, you walk into the room <br>
Like a camel and then you frown <br>
You put your eyes in your pocket <br>
And your nose on the ground <br>
There ought to be a law <br>
Against you comin' around <br>
You should be made <br>
To wear earphones <br>
<br>
Because something is happening here <br>
But you don't know what it is <br>
Do you, Mister Jones?<br>
<br>
