Couldn't Be A Reader Lyrics

Jandek Couldn't Be A Reader

I couldn't be a reader
I had to write the words
I couldn't be a dancer
I had to pull the string
Hey, I wouldn't treat you nice
Hey, you'd have to pay the price
Now I'm lost forever
I couldn't play a part
Knowing that a fever is written in my blood
Hey, I wouldn't treat you nice
Hey, you'd have to pay the price
Best that you forget me
Best that you forget me
