Dylan Too much of nothing can make a man ill at ease One man's temper rises while another man's temper might freeze Now in the day of confession, we cannot mock a soul Oh, when there's too much of nothing, no one has control Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Vivian Give her all my salary on the waters of oblivion Well, now too much of nothing can cause a man to weep He can walk the streets and like most and boast of what he'd like to keep But it's all been done before, it's all been written in the book And where there's too much of nothing, nobody should look Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Vivian Give her all my salary on the waters of oblivion Now too much of nothing can make a man a liar It can cause some man to sleep on nails, it can cause others to eat fire Everybody's doin' somethin', I heard it in a dream But when there's too much of nothing, it just makes a fella mean Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Vivian Give her all my salary on the waters of oblivion
