Absurd

Nobody understands how
It seems like you should know by now
You make the same mistakes over and over they wonder if you'll ever learn

You still often trip on your bootlace
You spit in the wind and it blows in your face
But you don't seem concerned
That they find you absurd

Motorists honk at you every day
'Cause you walk across the street without looking both ways
Over and over you carelessly walk off the curb

There's a stain on your shirt where some cake smeared
And you often have crumbs stuck in your beard
But you don't seem too stirred
That they find you absurd

Another day soaking wet in the rain without an umbrella
All the people say What a shame, you know he's looking less than stellar

They can't understand how you're not dead
Were there some pages missing in the book that you read?
Over and over though everything still seems a blur

You forget to pull up your zipper
And your breath smells like garlic and kipper
You don't mind their choice words
Though they find you absurd

Another day soaking wet in the rain without an umbrella
All the people say What a shame, you know he's looking less than stellar
You know he's quite an unusual fella
He must have spent his whole life in a cellar
My word... he's just so absurd
