This song is from Bob Dylan and The Band's basement tapes.
Intro
Too much of nothing
Can make a man ill at ease
One man's temper might rise
While another man's temper might freeze
In the day of confession
We cannot mock a soul
Oh when there's too much of nothing
No one has control
CHORUS:
Say hello to Valerie
Say hello to Vivian
Give her all my salary
On the waters of oblivion
