Im spitting out a folk song, but Im not feeling well
And if you could see just where I be, youd rather sunbathe in Hell
Cause its cold as stone to feel alone surrounded by a crowd
Their hungry ears rip up my songs, and it makes me scream out loud
Im half a man, Im half a man, Ive sung myself in two
I smoke a spliff, I play a riff, and try to tie my shoes
Im half and half a short giraffe, a dentist with no teeth
I write songs of love, they only bring me grief.
Nobody knows, nobody sees
I sing a happy song and the people are all pleased
But to know what happiness is, you first gotta know the sad
And to find inner peace, you first gotta go mad.
Im half a man, Im half a man, Ive sung myself in two
I smoke a spliff, play a riff, and try to tie my shoes
Im half and half a short giraffe, a dentist with no teeth
I write songs of love, they only bring me grief
