Nobody home
I`ve got a little black book with my poems in
got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
when I`m a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
I`ve got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
got those swollen hand blues
got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from
I got electric light and I got second sight
got amazing powers of observation
and that is how I know
when I try to get thru on the telephone to you
There`ll be nobody home.
Additional lyrics:
I`ve got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favourite satin shirt
I`ve got nicotine stains on my fingers
I`ve got a silver spoon on a chain
Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
I`ve got wide staring eyes
& I`ve got a strong urge to fly
But I`ve got nowhere to fly to (fly to fly to fly to fly to)
Ooooh babe, why not pick up the phone?
There`s still nobody home.
I`ve got a pair of Gohill`s boots
But I got fading roots.
