Lyrics
Well I guess you might call it a nick knack,
I guess it?s bordering on kitsch
A ceramic head with dark sunglasses,
And a small electric switch
The average consumer,
I guess the mow hawk is too much
But when I saw it through the door,,
I couldn?t leave it in the store
It?s mine.....All mine
Mr. Wirehead?s always counting time
Mr. Wirehead always comes to mind
To remind me how it?s supposed to be,
You will find me looking Ôround
To see him by the bed
Though he?s only just a head,
He?s got more sense than me.
1.I ask defensively 2. Now it occurs to me
3. And he will always be
Does he look good on the coffee table,
Is he jealous of my other clocks
All my friends think that I am unstable,
'cause I don?t keep him in a box
Sometimes I swear I catch him grinning,
Sometimes I think he laughs at me
Everyday I'm getting old,
But he?s always art nouveaux to me....I see CHORUS:
I don?t like to leave him home,
He gets depressed when he?s alone
In the car he makes me drive defensively
If you need a ride he?s on your lap,
Nestled in your shoulder strap
Just make sure he can see above the dash.
