lyrics

Good evening
You know
I'm a useless man of only 23
I have no love to live for me
just a dog and some memories
a fake piano and a room door key
that's all there is for me
cause I'm a useless man of 23
I do hope you understand

Can't unbutton my collar
Can't shoot for a dollar
Tell a joke to my mother
Put one foot before the other
I don't know head from tails
or how to cut my nails
What are cows what are whales
or how to hoist my sails I don’t know

I can't have reason with Satan
or God that create him
Make eggs with bacon
or whisky not shaken

I don't know day from night
how to take a bite
how to fly a kite
or to get out of sight

I can't talk to a stranger
Lick blood from a razor
Beat a Power Ranger
Or fly on a ventilator

I don't know forks from knifes
What to do with my life
What's a pothole what's a wife
and I go to bed with a bee-hive
Well...sometimes
