A man walks down the street, |
| [00:16.34] |
He says,Why am I soft in the middle now? |
| [00:18.55] |
Why am I soft in the middle? |
| [00:20.06] |
The rest of my life is so hard! |
| [00:22.27] |
I need a photo-opportunity, |
| [00:23.02] |
I want a shot at redemption! |
| [00:25.80] |
Don't want to end up a cartoon, |
| [00:27.56] |
In a cartoon graveyard ..... |
| [00:29.40] |
Bonedigger,Bonedigger, |
| [00:31.56] |
Dogs in the moonlight. |
| [00:33.28] |
Far away,my well-lit door. |
| [00:36.56] |
Mr.Beerbelly,Beerbelly, |
| [00:38.75] |
Get these mutts away from me! |
| [00:40.06] |
You know,I don't find this stuff amusing anymore .... |
| [00:44.25] |
If you'll be my bodyguard, |
| [00:46.22] |
I can be your long lost pal! |
| [00:52.02] |
I can call you Betty, |
| [00:53.15] |
And Betty,when you call me, |
| [00:54.87] |
You can call me Al! |
| [00:59.56] |
A man walks down the street, |
| [01:01.02] |
He says,Why am I short of attention? |
| [01:02.64] |
Got a short little span of attention, |
| [01:05.02] |
And whoa,my nights are so long! |
| [01:06.98] |
Where's my wife and family? |
| [01:08.29] |
What if I die here? |
| [01:09.81] |
Who'll be my role-model? |
| [01:12.58] |
Now that my role-model is .... |
| [01:14.15] |
Gone ......gone, |
| [01:16.01] |
He ducked back down the alley, |
| [01:17.58] |
With some roly-poly,little bat-faced girl. |
| [01:21.06] |
All along ....along .... |
| [01:23.13] |
There were incidents and accidents, |
| [01:25.15] |
There were hints and allegations ..... |
| [01:29.03] |
If you'll be my bodyguard, |
| [01:31.00] |
I can be your long lost pal! |
| [01:36.85] |
I can call you Betty, |
| [01:38.36] |
And Betty,when you call me, |
| [01:40.05] |
You can call me Al! |
| [01:43.22] |
Call me Al ...... |
| [02:29.32] |
A man walks down the street, |
| [02:31.04] |
It's a street in a strange world. |
| [02:32.65] |
Maybe it's the Third World. |
| [02:34.81] |
Maybe it's his first time around. |
| [02:36.73] |
He doesn't speak the language, |
| [02:38.09] |
He holds no currency. |
| [02:40.51] |
He is a foreign man, |
| [02:42.26] |
He is surrounded by the sound,sound .... |
| [02:46.15] |
Cattle in the marketplace. |
| [02:47.92] |
Scatterlings and orphanages. |
| [02:51.00] |
He looks around,around ..... |
| [02:52.92] |
He sees angels in the architecture, |
| [02:55.27] |
Spinning in infinity, |
| [02:56.88] |
He says,Amen!and Hallelujah! |
| [02:58.49] |
If you'll be my bodyguard, |
| [03:00.72] |
I can be your long lost pal! |
| [03:06.57] |
I can call you Betty, |
| [03:07.83] |
And Betty,when you call me, |
| [03:09.63] |
You can call me Al! |
| [03:13.26] |
You can call me Al ...... |
