jandek - message to the clerk lyrics

first i came to see the doctor, told him i was unemployed
asked me what i did for money, told him i was overjoyed
to reach into the basket, take a bunch of dimes
drop them near the paper riddled with my rhymes
take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work
then i came to the priest, said i knew god was alive
he looked at me quite solemn, said â? son donâ? t give me that jiveâ?
i reached into my pocket, pulled out a .45
said â? priest i got your number, and this here ainâ? t no jiveâ?
take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work
then i came to see the man at the center of the town
said â? hey there mister leader, youâ? re looking at a clown
i donâ? t engage in nothing except hanginâ? around
iâ? m living high, iâ? m living low, iâ? m just screaming the soundâ?
take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work
then i came to see myself, i got a nervous quirk
behind a gun i lurk, he looks to me berserk
he pushes (?) at his time, heâ? s running down a line
face all dripping down, carrying a sign
take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work
and now youâ? re independent, brush your teeth three times a day
remember how i told you, remember how i say
that youâ? ve seen a hundred persons, and youâ? ve called me down today
just to hear how lovely it sounds to hear me say
take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work
