Songteksten

[Verse 1]

You walk into the room

With a pencil in your hand

You see somebody naked

You say, "Who is that, man?"

You try so hard

But you don't understand

Just what you will say when

You get home

[Verse 2]

Yes, because you know something is happening here

But you don't know what it is

Do you Mister Jones?

[Verse 3]

You walk in, so politely

You say, "Is this where it is?"

And somebody points to you

And says, "It's his"

And you say, "What's mine?"

And somebody else says, "Where it is?"

And you say, "Oh my God, am I here all alone?"

[Verse 4]

Yes, because you know something is happening here

Just that you don't know what it is

Do you Mister Jones?

[Verse 5]

You hand in your money

To go watch the geek

Who suddenly walks up to you

When he hears you speak

Saying, "How does it feel to be such a freak?"

And you say, "Impossible"

As he hands you a bone

[Verse 6]

Yes, 'cause you know something is happening

But you don't know what it is

Do you Mister Jones?

[Verse 7]

You have many contacts

Out there among the lumberjacks

To get you facts when someone attacks your imagination

But nobody has any respect

Anyway they just expect

You take your check

Give that to tax-deductible charity organizations

[Verse 8]

You've been with the professors

And they've all liked your looks

With good lawyers and scholars

You discussed lepers and crooks

You've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books

You're very well read

It's well known

[Verse 9]

Yes, but still something is happening

And you don't know what it is

Do you Mister Jones?

[Verse 10]

The sword swallower walks to you and then he kneels

He crosses himself

And he clicks his high heels

And without further notice

He tells you how it feels

And says, "Here's your mouth, thanks, thanks for the loan"

[Verse 11]

Yes, and you begin to really know something is happening

And you wish you knew what it was

Don't you Mister Jones?

[Verse 12]

You see this one-eyed midget

Shouting the word, "Now"

And you say, "For what reason?"

And he says, "How?"

You say, "Oh my God, what does that mean?"

And he screams back, "You're a cow

Give me some milk or else go home"

[Verse 13]

Yes, and you're positive something is happening

And you know you gotta find out what it is

Do you Mister Jones?

[Verse 14]

You walk into the room

Like a camel when you frown

You put your eyes in your pocket

And your nose on the ground

There ought to be a law

Against you comin' around

You should be made

Carrying at all times

A telephone

[Verse 15]

Yes, because something is happening

And you don't know what it is

Do you Mister Jones?
