The Salesman

Squeaky wheels are holding

A cold list and a warm pen

His wooden cart is full and

Rolling through the warren

Now around the corner

The uniform approaches

He's stopped at every door but

Mine's the one that's closest

The Salesman sold me something I didn't need

I open up the door

Before his knuckles land a second knock

I let a suit in, here I am in socks

The Salesman sold me something I didn't need

In a moment I begin

In a torrent I'm a kid

Vision cooly comes to focus

Gotta take it on the chin

Now it's time to be polite

I say come on in and sit

Bring your dusty cart and kit

Go on and give me the pitch

The Salesman sold me something I didn't need

He said

"I'm selling Coca-Cola

I'm selling coats and corsets

I'm selling giant buildings

You can choose, I'd never force it

I'm selling songs from Greenwich

I sell em by the second

I'm selling dusty books with dusty wisdom

But never read it

You could buy apoyo

Or You can buy a logo

Or you can buy a world, a fantasy

You just can't go though"

The Salesman sold me somethin I didn't need
