Stephen Malkmus - Jo Jo's Jacket lyrics

rate me

"And in a funny way, the shaving of my, uh, head has been a liberation from, uh, a lot of, uh, stupid vanities really. Uh, it has simplified everything for me, it has opened a lot of doors maybe."

[SM]

I'm not what you think I am

I'm the king of Siam

I've got a bald head

My name is Yul Brynner

And I am a famous movie star

Perhaps you saw me in Westworld

I acted like a robotic cowboy

It was my best role

I can not deny I

Felt right home deep inside

That electronic carcass

You're such monumental slime

Let the punishment fit the crime

Tie it to a chair

The house music will blare

And turn your ears into

A medicinal jelly

Stay inside on Christmas Day

And make believe that you are my candy cane

You said, "I'm not that type,

No I'm not sweet, and I'm not overripe

Bob Dylan sang in

"Its alright mama im only bleeding",

Everything from toy guns that spark to flesh colored Christs that glow in the dark

Its easy to see we got in too far and not much is really sacred.
