Artist: Bob Dylan Title: Ballad of a thin man Written by Bob Dylan Appears in the 1965 album [Highway 61 Revisited] ===========================================
You walk into the room with your pencil in your hand See somebody naked You say, who is that man? You try so hard but you don't understand Just what to say when you get home
Something is happening But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones?
You raise up your head And you ask, Is this where it is? Somebody points to you and says It's his You say, what's mine? Someone else says, where what is? And then you say, Am I here all alone?
Something is happening but you dont know what it is Do you, Mister Jones?
You hand in your ticket And you go watch the geek He walks up to you when he hears you speak And says, how does it feel to be such a freak? You say, impossible And he hands you a bone
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 No one has any respect Any way they just expect you to give a check to tax deductible charity organizations oh
You walk into the room Like a camel and then you frown You put your eyes in your pocket And put your nose in the ground There ought to be a law against you coming around You should be made to wear earphones
Something is happening But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones?
Something is happening But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones?
