How do you do?

I am a lost boy

I was sent for you to enjoy

My brain is tasty 'cause I like to read

My body’s honey fed and set to bleed

Show no mercy

I don’t need it

How do you do?

This is the worst-case scenario

This is the last place you wanna go

Don’t wanna lose face

My charter member of the rat race

Show no mercy

Not yet, anyway

I don’t want to show up in your poetry

Your dirty mind or dirtier dreams

I can see where this is heading

And I suspect that all you really want from me

Is kindling for your diary

I was alive in the '70s

Grew up with muscrat love and baby tees

Star Wars was cool but damnit won’t you please

Save me from my disco miseries?

You can’t make me

Shake nothing, no, no, no, no

I don’t want to show up in your poetry

Your dirty mind or dirtier dreams

I can see where this is heading

And I suspect that all you really want from me

Is kindling for your diary

What you, were you, when you, why you?

Won’t you let me slide right by you?

What you, were you, when you, why you?

Why won’t you let me slide right by you?

What you, were you, when you, why you?

Why won’t you let me slide right by you?

What you, were you, when you, weren’t you?

Why won’t you let me slide right by you?

Won’t you let me slide right by you?

Slide right by you, hey hey hey

I don’t want to show up in your poetry

Your dirty mind or dirtier dreams

I can see where this is heading

And I suspect that all you really want from me

Is kindling for your diary
