Lyrics They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants

Number Three

There's only two songs in me

And I just wrote the third

Don't know where I got the inspiration

Or how I wrote the words

Spent my whole life just digging up

My music's shallow grave

For the two songs in me

And the third one I just made

A rich man once told me

Hey, life's a funny thing

A poor man once told me

That he can't afford to speak

Now I'm in the middle

Like a bird without a beak 'cause

There's just two songs in me

And I just wrote the third

Don't know where I got the inspiration

Or how I wrote the words

Spent my whole life just digging up

My music's shallow grave

For the two songs in me

And the third one I just made

So, I went to the President

And I asked old what's-his-name

Has he ever gotten writer's block

Or something like the same

He just started talking

Like he was on TV

If there's just two songs in ya, boy

Whaddaya want from me?

So, I bought myself some denim pants

And a silver guitar

But I politely told the ladies

You'll still have to call me 'Sir'

Because I have to keep my self-respect

I'll never be a star

Since there's just two songs in me

And this is number three
