Man in a wheelchair Lobby of the forest With freighters, hustlers, hard up millionaires Mobsters, cops, Whores, pimps, and Marxists All human life is there In the forest all you need is eyes and ears Man in a wheelchair listens to the chatter Writes down all the insane crap he hears. He can't move around but it doesn't really matter In the farthest stall you needed his eyes and ears And out they pour the hits and the misses Turn me loose, lonely avenue And down in Nashville, Elvis sings "Suspicion" Pomus, Shuman, 1962 And he could never be one of those happy cripples The kind that smile and tell you life's okay. He was mad as hell. Frightened and bitter, He found a way to make his feelings pay. Back at the forest in the steakhouse of a lobby A diner gets 3 bullets in the head. Doc looks down eating his linguine Thinking up a lyric for the dead. And out they pour the hits and the misses Turn me loose, lonely avenue And down in Nashville, Elvis sings "Suspicion" Pomus, Shuman, 1962 1962 Friendly Jack Benny, crazy Phil Spector ? and Eydie Gorme Damon Runyon Junior and the ? orchestra All super human life is there In the forest all you need is eyes and ears And he could never be one of those happy cripples The kind that smile and tell you life's okay He was mad as hell, frightened and bitter. He found a way to make his isolation pay. And out they pour the hits and the misses Turn me loose, lonely avenue And down in Nashville, Elvis sings "Suspicion" Pomus, Shuman, 1962 And out they pour the hits and the misses Turn me loose, lonely avenue And down in Nashville, Elvis sings "Suspicion" Pomus, Shuman, 1962
