You walk into the room
  With your pencil in your hand
  You see somebody naked
  And you say, "Who is that man ?"
  You try so hard
  But you don't understand
  Just what you'll say
  When you get home.
  
  Because something is happening here
  But you don't know what it is
  Do you, Mister Jones ?
  
  You raise up your head
  And you ask, "Is this where it is ?"
  And somebody points to you and says
  "It's his"
  And you says, "What's mine ?"
  And somebody else says, "Where what is ?"
  And you say, "Oh my God
  Am I here all alone ?"
  
  But something is happening here
  But you don't know what it is
  Do you, Mister Jones ?
  
  You hand in your ticket
  And you go watch the geek
  Who immediately walks up to you
  When he hears you speak
  And says, "How does it feel
  To be such a freak ?"
  And you say, "Impossible"
  As he hands you a bone.
  
  And something is happening here
  But you don't know what it is
  Do you, Mister Jones ?
  
  You have many contacts
  Among the lumberjacks
  To get you facts
  When someone attacks your imagination
  But nobody has any respect
  Anyway they already expect you
  To all give a check
  To tax-deductible charity organizations.
  You've been with the professors
  And they've all liked your looks
  With great lawyers you have
  Discussed lepers and crooks
  You've been through all of
  F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
  You're very well read
  It's well known.
  
  But something is happening here
  And you don't know what it is
  Do you, Mister Jones ?
  
  Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
  And then he kneels
  He crosses himself
  And then he clicks his high heels
  And without further notice
  He asks you how it feels
  And he says, "Here is your throat back
  Thanks for the loan".
  
  And you know something is happening
  But you don't know what it is
  Do you, Mister Jones ?
  
  Now you see this one-eyed midget
  Shouting the word "NOW"
  And you say, "For what reason ?"
  And he says, "How ?"
  And you say, "What does this mean ?"
  And he screams back, "You're a cow
  Give me some milk
  Or else go home".
  
  Because something is happening
  But you don't know what it is
  Do you, Mister Jones ?
  
  Well, you walk into the room
  Like a camel and then you frown
  You put your eyes in your pocket
  And your nose on the ground
  There ought to be a law
  Against you comin' around
  You should be made
  To wear earphones.
  
  Does something is happening
  And you don't know what it is
  Do you, Mister Jones ?
