lyrics

I got a little black book with my poems in it
I got a bag, a toothbrush, and a comb
When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone

I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
I got those swollen hand blues
I got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from

I got electric lights
I got second sight
I got amazing powers of observation
That is how I know when I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home

I got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And the inevitable pinhole burn
All down the front of my favorite satin shirt

I got nicotine stains on my fingers
I got a silver spoon on a chain
I got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains

I got wild, staring eyes
I got a strong urge to fly
But I got nowhere to fly to
Ooh, babe, when I pick up the phone
Surprise, surprise, surprise, nobody home

I got a pair of Gohills boots
And I've got fading roots
