[00:14.990] You walk into the room
[00:17.800] With your pencil in your hand
[00:21.430] You see somebody naked
[00:24.120] And you say, "Who is that man ?"
[00:27.990] You try so hard
[00:29.740] But you don't understand
[00:33.990] Just what you'll say
[00:36.430] When you get home.
[00:40.500] Because something is happening here
[00:43.120] But you don't know what it is
[00:47.490] Do you, Mister Jones ?
[00:57.430] You raise up your head
[01:01.310] And you ask, "Is this where it is ?"
[01:04.60] And somebody points to you and says
[01:08.120] "It's his"
[01:10.560] And you says, "What's mine ?"
[01:12.870] And somebody else says, "Where what is ?"
[01:15.120] And you say, "Oh my God
[01:18.880] Am I here all alone ?"
[01:23.560] But something is happening here
[01:27.130] But you don't know what it is
[01:30.500] Do you, Mister Jones ?
[01:40.380] You hand in your ticket
[01:43.500] And you go watch the geek
[01:47.200] Who immediately walks up to you
[01:50.130] When he hears you speak
[01:53.500] And says, "How does it feel
[01:56.250] To be such a freak ?"
[01:59.440] And you say, "Impossible"
[02:01.320] As he hands you a bone.
[02:06.10] And something is happening here
[02:08.880] But you don't know what it is
[02:13.260] Do you, Mister Jones ?
[02:23.190] You have many contacts
[02:26.320] Among the lumberjacks
[02:29.570] To get you facts
[02:33.10] When someone attacks your imagination
[02:36.10] But nobody has any respect
[02:39.260] Anyway they already expect you
[02:41.510] To all give a check
[02:44.630] To tax-deductible charity organizations.
[02:55.140] You've been with the professors
[02:57.320] And they've all liked your looks
[03:01.580] With great lawyers you have
[03:05.320] Discussed lepers and crooks
[03:06.640] You've been through all of
[03:15.890] F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
[03:17.700] You're very well read
[03:18.260] It's well known.
[03:21.79] But something is happening here
[03:23.79] And you don't know what it is
[03:27.450] Do you, Mister Jones ?
[03:36.710] Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
[03:40.450] And then he kneels
[03:43.520] He crosses himself
[03:45.140] And then he clicks his high heels
[03:49.640] And without further notice
[03:51.579] He asks you how it feels
[03:55.200] And he says, "Here is your throat back
[03:58.210] Thanks for the loan".
[04:03.330] And you know something is happening
[04:05.460] But you don't know what it is
[04:09.330] Do you, Mister Jones ?
[04:18.459] Now you see this one-eyed midget
[04:22.270] Shouting the word "NOW"
[04:25.520] And you say, "For what reason ?"
[04:29.330] And he says, "How ?"
[04:32.830] And you say, "What does this mean ?"
[04:34.330] And he screams back, "You're a cow
[04:38.770] Give me some milk
[04:40.270] Or else go home".
[04:48.840] And you know something is happening
[04:50.30] But you don't know what it is
[04:51.460] Do you, Mister Jones ?
[05:00.30] Well, you walk into the room
[05:02.960] Like a camel and then you frown
[05:07.590] You put your eyes in your pocket
[05:09.900] And your nose on the ground
[05:14.210] There ought to be a law
[05:16.650] Against you comin' around
[05:20.90] You should be made
[05:21.840] To wear earphones.
[05:27.280] Does something is happening
[05:29.780] And you don't know what it is
[05:33.780] Do you, Mister Jones ?
