Residents Confused Lyrics

Confused Lyrics

Seeing that his eyes were empty under half closed lids,
Made it all the more
disturbing knowing Benny hid
A bump that looked like clods of dirt inside
some sickly lung
That barely peeked beneath his shirt and twitched like
Toto's tongue.
For fifty cents inside a tent adjacent to the rest,
The
weaker soul could hide their eyes while Benny bared his chest;
He rubbed the
bump with oleo and little bits of meat
And stroked the shape as it extended
down towards his feet.
Bounce Benny bounce Bouncing Benny
He would put a
record on then go into a trance
Until he heard his mother's favorite polka
then he danced;
The record player went too fast but Benny didn't care,
He
simply bounced around the room while people stood and stared.
Benny really
only cared about one single thing -
He collected magazines called
"Women in the Ring";
He kept them all in plastic bags and
everybody said
That Benny talked to them at night before he went to
bed.
Bounce Benny bounce Bouncing Benny
I need someone to wrestle with
she'd have to wear a hood,
And hold me in a hammerlock if she was feeling
good.
She'd probably have a ponytail that stuck out from the back
And I
bet her eyes would shine - right when she attacked;
She might be kind of
mean some times and act like we weren't friends,
But when the match was over
we'd be buddies till the end;
I've got to go! I've got to go! I know that she
is there -
Waiting in a ring for me to hug her like a bear.
Follow that
dream Benny follow that dream...
