Message To The Clerk, Pt.2 Lyrics

Jandek Message To The Clerk, Pt.2

Then I came to see the man at the center of the town
Said hey there Mister Leader, you're looking at a clown
I don't engage in nothin' except hangin' around
I'm living high, I'm living low, I just scream the sound
Take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work
Then I came to see myself, I got a nervous quirk
He looks to me berserk
He pushes (?) out his time, he's running down a line
Face all dripping down, carryin' the sound
Take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work
And now you're independent, brush your teeth three times a day
Remember how I told you, remember how I say
That you've seen the hundredth person, and you've called him down today
Just to hear how lovely it sounds to hear me say
Take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work
