Jandek - Message To The Clerk, Pt.2 lyrics

Then I came to see the man at the center of the town

Said hey there Mister Leader, you're looking at a clown

I don't engage in nothin' except hangin' around

I'm living high, I'm living low, I just scream the sound

Take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work

Then I came to see myself, I got a nervous quirk

He looks to me berserk

He pushes (?) out his time, he's running down a line

Face all dripping down, carryin' the sound

Take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work

And now you're independent, brush your teeth three times a day

Remember how I told you, remember how I say

That you've seen the hundredth person, and you've called him down today

Just to hear how lovely it sounds to hear me say

Take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work
