Call Me Al

A man walks down the street he says
Why am I soft in the middle now?
Why am I soft in the middle?
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Dont want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard
Bonedigger bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. beerbelly beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me you know
I dont find this stuff amusing anymore

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you betty
And betty when you call me
You can call me all

A man walks down the street he says
Why am I short of attention got
A short little span of attention and
Wo my nights are so long?
Where's my wife and family?
What if I die here?
Who'll be my role-model?
Now that my role-model is
Gone gone
He ducked back down the alley with some
Roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All along along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you betty
And betty when you call me
You can call me all
You call me all

(Solo)

A man walks down the street
Its a street in a strange world
Maybe its the third world
Maybe its his first time around
He doesnt speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterlings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says amen! and hallelujah!

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you betty
And betty when you call me
You can call me all
You call me all
