Вступление
[Verse 1]
Outside the dogs are barking
Barking at me
And all the cars are parking
Down on the street
My window blinds are closed,
it's getting dark in my apartment
but I won't turn the lights on because I don't care to see
[Verse 2]
Now the telephone is ringing
ringing for me
and the nextdoor neighbours singing
singing born free
I'm sitting on the floor,
and now I think I hear the doorbell
but I'm not going to get it 'cause I don't want company
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Now the TV set is blinking
it's on the blink
and the garbage started stinking
or is it me
my head is dripping sweat
but I don't think I'll turn the heat down
'cause I don't have the time to and I've had too much to drink.
[Verse 4]
Now the record player's skipping
right over me
and the nextdoor neighbour's tripping
on LSD
His world is getting funny,
G D (slide whistle)
it is slipping on bananas,
Mine is just like his but it's already lost its feet.
[Verse 5]
My girlfriend went away because I sent her
She took the clothes I gave her and the money that I lent her
she was bent on making me just as make believe as she was
'cause the real world is exit only so she can never enter
[Verse 6]
So I'll plug my nose and close my eyes and stuff my ears with cotton
and I'll stick my head beneath the kitchen sink 'til I've forgotten
and the food in my refrigerator can all go rotten
I'm not eating, I'm not anything 'til she gives up on me.
[Verse 7]
And the space inside my head will be the world that I live in
'cause she just kept forgetting, and I just kept forgiving
and if I break down, it's 'cause she was driven
[Outro]
I'm not eating, I'm not anything 'til she gives up on me.
I'm not eating, I'm not anything 'til she gives up on me.
I'm not eating, I'm not anything...
