the boy with the hammer in the paper bag - mark eitzel lyrics

when the boy with the hammer in the paper bag
stands up to cheer, then you stand up to cheer
that boy really knows how to accessorize -
it’s the best look that we’ve seen all year

and he raises his hammer to the magic act who gets all mad
and says, “i should be in vegas,” he says
“you don’t need to know how to breathe fire
to see a hunger for a pain that’s endless.”

and then the mill valley man starts tap dancing to ‘midnight cowboy,’
and suddenly there’s sirens outside –
but it’s only someone’s family home burning down next door –
don’t worry people – no need to hide

and then the colonel starts playing tambourine –
it was so funny, we were rolling –
we were laughing in the face of the pain of the family next door –
too f-cked up to feel anything

if that’s what you want – well, it’s nothing
the boy with the hammer in the paper bag is feeling lonely –
gee, i wonder why?
he says, “bring me the head of alfredo garcia” –
staring at the stripper-reflecting only sky –
but he was really harmless –
he only used the hammer
to smash the windows of the parked cars on his way home –
that look back at him in accusation and say –
no one’s gonna catch you if you fall all alone
but if that’s what you want, it’s nothing
