Everybody`s talking like they can`t sit down And looking like they can`t stand up It must be the latest style And they've seen a lot of things that you never see Back on the mile up to the hanging tree Some people can`t keep their fingers clean Just clicking their heels to the beat of the scene Trying to keep careen until the first edition of last night`s obituaries Jump up--hold on tight Can`t trust the promise or a guarantee `Cause the man `round the curve says that he`s never heard Of you or me No tombstone would ever surprise me When I`m locked in a room about half the size of a matchbox Got holes in my socks They match the ones that I got in my feet I put my feet in the holes in the street and somebody paved me over I was a statue standing on the corner Tell me, how else can a boy get to see those pretty pleats? Candidate talkin` on the radio from the "Cheaters Jamboree" It must be their latest fool `Cause it`s a two-horse race and he changed his bets Like it was just another brand of cigarettes Some people judge and they just guess the rest They can`t understand that don`t mean that you`re blessed They ought to catch the express-next stop no where That way you can forget Jump up--hold on tight Can`t trust the promise or a guarantee `Cause the man `round the curve says that he`s never heard Of you or me
