Piece of dirt, that is all I'm standing on today   Piece of dirt, the whole world has slipped away   I would climb the highest mountain just to jump into a fountain   Or to fly, I'd fly away      A woman's voice on the radio can convince you you're in love   A woman's voice on the telephone can convince you you're alone   But I set my sails so long ago they've revoked my sailor's badge   Said I should be content and happy on this ink spot where I stand      Piece of dirt, that is all I'm standing on today   Piece of dirt, the whole world has slipped away   I find myself haunted by a spooky man named me   I wish that I could jump out of my skin
