Hey Mister Can You Tell Me

Jandek


Hey mister can you tell me
Is there a knife stuck in your face 
Have matchbook covers been your mirrors 
Do you feel your hand in your own pocket 
Hey mister do you count the shadows that fall before you 
Hey mister can you tell me 
Is there a knife stuck in your face 
Do you have the shivers underneath your skin 
Hey mister can you tell me 
Where it is you're going 
Hey mister you got the blues written over your face 
Looks like you're never going to be in your place 
The way you've been carrying on is a disgrace 
But you know it's the only way to be, yeah 
Now you can go and look in any corner 
And you can buy a ticket to a movie 
And you can walk out at night 
And you can buy your own groceries 
Hey mister can you tell me 
Is there a knife stuck in your face
