Shame on Me - The Residents

It’s a shame

You know it’s such a shame

Here I am — looking down

Stuck inside a frozen frown

When I coulda been a clown

It’s a shame

You know it’s such a shame

I’m all alone in a lonely crowd

Me’n my dick just hangin' out

When I coulda been a clown

It’s a shame, it’s a shame

It’s a shame, it’s a shame

Funnier than legless lepers singing «Born to Lose»

Funnier than Jesus crucified in high heel shoes

Funnier than Adolph Hitler butt fucked by baboons

Funnier than obese babies popping like balloons

Funnier than masturbating midget residue

Funnier than the Pope’s penis being barbecued

Is the goofy sense of humor

That you never lose

Even though your drunken daddy

Loved you like a bruise

…on your big toe

…and on your ear lobe (is ear lobe funny?)

…and your spleen and your gizzard

…and your butt… lots of bruises on your butt

…and bruises on your nose and your forehead and your knee and your pinkie

finger… BRUISES ON YOUR PINKIE FINGER!

HOW ABOUT THAT!

He said he wished his kisses could

Erase the traces of childhood

Elevating his manhood

Hour after hour

But he realized too late

That the finger of his fate

Led him to a life that wasted

Hour after hour, hour after hour

Life is just an open door

And nothing seems to matter more

Than someone worth waiting for

Hour after hour, hour after hour

Casanova’s frowning

When no one is around him

The clown in Casanova is… crying
