Ed's Redeeming Qualities - I'm Not Eating, I'm Not Anything lyrics

Outside, the dogs are barking Barking at me And all the cars are parking Down on the street My window blinds are closed It's getting dark in my apartment But I won't turn the lights on, because I don't care to see Now the telephone is ringing Ringing for me And the next door neighbor's singing Singing "Born Free" I'm sitting on the floor And now I think I hear the doorbell But I'm not going to get it, because I don't want company Now the TV set is blinking It's on the blink And the garbage started stinking Or is it me? My head is dripping sweat but I don't think I'll turn the heat down Because I don't have the time to, and I've had too much to drink. Now the record player's skipping Right over me The next door neighbor's tripping On LSD His world is getting funny, it is slipping on bananas And mine is just like his but it's already lost its feet My girlfriend went away Because I sent her She took the clothes I gave her And the money that I lent her She was bent on making me just as make-believe as she was Because the real world is Exit Only, she can never enter. So I plug my nose and close my eyes and stuff my ears with cotton And I'll stick my head beneath the kitchen sink until I've forgotten And the food in my refrigerator can all go rotten I'm not eating, I'm not anything, until she gives up on me And the space inside my head will be the world that I live in Because she just kept forgetting, I just kept forgiving And if I break down, it's because she was driven I'm not eating, I'm not anything, until she gives up on me
