Jandek - I Knew About Them lyrics

I decided to live for man instead of God I don't know how it happened I learned when you live for man, you die for man I didn't have to die It takes a lot longer to die than to live I was wondering if you wear out Many clothes these days If you lose, or need to change, or outgrow And is it easy to let your old clothes go And bring them To the place for the other unknown segment Who somehow wants them I decide this way is the best But the time is so hard to corral And pull out little intrigants (?) Which I can't read no more I surely can't keep the light on It's too dark to see Let me tell you somethin' I sure can hear I sure can hear They didn't know that They knew I couldn't see But they forgot That I could still hear And hearing is knowing I knew all about 'em, yes I don't know how they even got so close For me to even hear them But they know that I'm listening now And I've got some plans To stop anything negative dead in its tracks Go away now You're too heavy on my mind I need to lay back Close my eyes So go away now Before you're gone
