The Residents - Gingerbread Man by Residents lyrics

Run, run as fast as you can you can't catch me I'm the ginger bread man You can look, look as hard as you can you can't see me I'm the ginger bread man Or the family of man but never mind me I'm just a ginger bread man (The weaver :) only hours away could be a man with a million dollars Only minutes away could be a guy with a gun Only seconds away could be a love that will last forever But if it gets away there might not ever be one (The dying oilman :) I could be good maybe I'm crazy I could be good maybe I'm mad I could be good don't get in my way Because I could be good but I'm bad (The sold out artist :) out in the streets And under the sun I kissed his feet And loaded his gun Sooner or later Everyone does Everybody feeds the fat boy Everybody feeds the fat boy (The aging musician :) once upon a time I played electric guitar And they said I was a rock & roll star Now no body calls me on the telephone So I sit and watch my tv all alone Maybe if I put a bullet in my brain They'd remember me like Kurt Cobain And the parasites on MTV Would wipe their eyes and act like they knew me But I wouldn't be a hero I'd be dead Just a corpse beside a note that read If you like to pretend that you'll never get old You got what it takes to rock n' roll (The old woman :) angel answer my prayers Answer my prayers tonight Tell me if anyone cares If I do what I might Angel answer my prayers And tell me if any one else Knows how much I am scared That I might murder myself --- .
