Meat Puppets - Split Myself in Two lyrics
[Meat Puppets - Split Myself in Two lyrics]
The man laid his hat on the table
Hung his coat up on the wall
Sat down to dinner, said
"As soon as I am able
I'll say something nice to you all"
Then he took a deck from his pocket
Spread 'em so I saw 'em all
Then he turned his back to me
Shuffled 'em and drew me
The card that said I never would fall
Oh, Mary Lou, won't you tell me what to do?
I got a dollar on the corner
And a laser in my shoe
If I don't get an answer
Gonna split myself in two
He spun 'til a ton was glistening
He turned to me and gave me a smile he said
"I'm leaving but I want what you owe me
I'll be back in a little while"
That was the last time I saw him
Hope I never see him again
And I know it sounds funny but
I owe him some money
Really don't want him for a friend
Oh, Mary Lou, won't you tell me what to do?
I got a dollar on the corner
And a laser in my shoe
If I don't get an answer
Gonna split myself in two
The man laid his hat on the table
Hung his coat up on the wall
Sat down to dinner, said
"As soon as I am able
I'll say something nice to you all"
Then he took a deck from his pocket
Spread 'em so I saw 'em all
Then he turned his back to me
Shuffled 'em and drew me
The card that said I never would fall
Oh, Mary Lou, won't you tell me what to do?
I got a dollar on the corner
And a laser in my shoe
If I don't get an answer
I'll split myself in two
Hung his coat up on the wall
Sat down to dinner, said
"As soon as I am able
I'll say something nice to you all"
Then he took a deck from his pocket
Spread 'em so I saw 'em all
Then he turned his back to me
Shuffled 'em and drew me
The card that said I never would fall
Oh, Mary Lou, won't you tell me what to do?
I got a dollar on the corner
And a laser in my shoe
If I don't get an answer
Gonna split myself in two
He spun 'til a ton was glistening
He turned to me and gave me a smile he said
"I'm leaving but I want what you owe me
I'll be back in a little while"
That was the last time I saw him
Hope I never see him again
And I know it sounds funny but
I owe him some money
Really don't want him for a friend
Oh, Mary Lou, won't you tell me what to do?
I got a dollar on the corner
And a laser in my shoe
If I don't get an answer
Gonna split myself in two
The man laid his hat on the table
Hung his coat up on the wall
Sat down to dinner, said
"As soon as I am able
I'll say something nice to you all"
Then he took a deck from his pocket
Spread 'em so I saw 'em all
Then he turned his back to me
Shuffled 'em and drew me

Oh, Mary Lou, won't you tell me what to do?
I got a dollar on the corner
And a laser in my shoe
If I don't get an answer
