I Knew About Them Lyrics


Jandek I Knew About Them

I decided to live for man instead of God
I don't know how it happened
I learned when you live for man, you die for man
I didn't have to die
It takes a lot longer to die than to live
I was wondering if you wear out
Many clothes these days
If you lose, or need to change, or outgrow
And is it easy to let your old clothes go
And bring them
To the place for the other unknown segment
Who somehow wants them
I decide this way is the best
But the time is so hard to corral
And pull out little intrigants (?)
Which I can't read no more
I surely can't keep the light on
It's too dark to see
Let me tell you somethin'
I sure can hear
I sure can hear
They didn't know that
They knew I couldn't see
But they forgot
That I could still hear
And hearing is knowing
I knew all about 'em, yes
I don't know how they even got so close
For me to even hear them
But they know that I'm listening now
And I've got some plans
To stop anything negative dead in its tracks
Go away now
You're too heavy on my mind
I need to lay back
Close my eyes
So go away now
Before you're gone
