Ballad Of A Thin Man

Lyrics

You walk into the room
 With your pencil in your hand
 You see somebody naked
 And you say, "Who is that man?"
 You try so hard
 But you don't understand
 Just what you'll say when you get home
 'Cause you know something is happening
 But you don't know what it is
 Do you, Mister Jones?
 ♪
 You raise up your head
 You ask, "Is this where it is?"
 Somebody points to you and says
 "It's his"
 You say, "What's mine?"
 Somebody else says, "Where what is?"
 And you say, "Oh my God, am I here all alone?"
 'Cause you know something is happening
 But you don't know what it is
 Do you, Mister Jones?
 ♪
 You have many contacts
 Among the lumberjacks
 To get you facts
 When someone attacks your imagination
 Nobody has any respect
 Anyhow, they already expect you
 To just sign a check to
 Tax-deductible charity organizations, hey!
 ♪
 Hey, you know something is happening
 But you don't know what it is
 Do you, Mister Jones?
 ♪
 Now when you see this one-eyed midget
 Shouting the word, "Now"
 And you say, "For what reason?"
 And he says, "How?"
 And you say, "What does this mean?"
 And he screams back, "You're a cow, give me some milk or else go home"
 'Cause you know something is happening
 But you don't know what it is
 Do you?
 When you walk into the room
 Like a camel and then you frown
 Keep your eyes in your pocket
 And your nose on the ground
 There should be a law
 Against you comin' around
 Girl your arm, should be made to wear earphones
 Hey, you know something is happening
 You know something is happening
 But you don't know what it is
 Do you, Mister Jones?
