lyrics

ALL GREAT MEN THINK THEY’RE NOBODY
(for Paul)

all great men
many of them
most great men
think they’re nobody
’s why we love ‘em

i saw you on a wall
sleeping in the sun
passed out t all the world
some mother’s son

hey paul
we called ya rummy
takin’ pictures n thinkin’ yr funny
inside we knew
we could be you

all great men
many of them
most great men
think they’re nobody
’s why we love ‘em

sometimes yd make my day
standin’ far away
never havin’ anything useful
t say

a grave digger they said ya are
job could make ya dark
like a clown alone
in amusement park

buddha was invisible
ah to all the world
maybe he was a drunk like you
maybe that made him real

harmonica solo

all great men
many of them
most great men
think they’re nobody
’s why we love ‘em
