Jandek - Hey Mister Can You Tell Me lyrics

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
