Nobody Home

Note: 

This lyrics cannot be more appropriate right now.

I've got a little black book with my poems in 
Got a bag with toothbrush and comb in
When I'm good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in

I got elastic bands keepin' my shoes on
Got those swollen-hand blues
I got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from

I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I got amazing powers of observation
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you

There'll be nobody home

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down my favorit satin shirt

I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains

I got wild staring eyes
And I've got a strong urge to fly
But I got nowhere to fly to

Ooh, babe when you pick up the phone
There's still nobody home

I've got a pair of Gohills boots 
But I got fading roots
