Mandy K. - Modern Day Ballad
Well your breath it reaks of alcohol,
but your smile reaks of happiness.
You're happy, but that's what cheap wine,
Does to the best of us.
By the 5th glass your giddy,
6th glass you can't be serious,
And you're no longer witty,
Now I'm getting rather furious.
This is a modern day ballad,
For the modern day 21st century,
We take what we can get and we drink what we can put down,
And this is, nothing but a failed attempt,
To tell you how I'm feeling.
But if the stars fall down and the sun burns out,
Then at least you'll know I'm dealing with you and him.
Na Na Na Na Na...
And now you're, sleeping rather softly,
But I guess that's expected.
And he's by your side, and you're on my mind,
And I swear I never meant it,
If I ever told anyone,
I needed you. (I needed you, I needed you)
You drink too much,
And you try to hard,
And I lied before I need you
If you don't like this or your teacher wont' approve
try Bob Dylan -Ballad of a Thin Man
You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, "Who is that man?"
You try so hard
But you don't understand
Just what you'll say
When you get home
Because something is happening here
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?"
And somebody points to you and says
"It's his"
And you say, "What's mine?"
And somebody else says, "Where what is?"
And you say, "Oh my God
Am I here all alone?"
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, "How does it feel
To be such a freak?"
And you say, "Impossible"
As he hands you a bone
Because something is happening here
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
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To just give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations
You've been with the professors
And they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well read
It's well known
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, "Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan"
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word "NOW"
And you say, "For what reason?"
And he says, "How?"
And you say, "What does this mean?"
And he screams back, "You're a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home"
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin' around
You should be made
To wear earphones
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Back in the day I was a very accomplished pole vaulter.?
I was more of a sword swallower.
Who should I dress up as?
A sword swallower!
