lyrics

Every day outside of Roxbury Crossing I see the same damn guy

And every day he sits on the corner and he watches the people walk by

And I can’t help but judge him no and I can’t help but stare

And one day soon before I move along I hope he sees me standing there and he’ll say

Hey Slackjaw!

Just tell me what you’re looking at

From what you saw

You don’t know a thing about where I’m at

Hey Slackjaw!

You think that you got it made?

Take one fall

You’ll wind up worse than me

Every night I toss and I turn in my bed and I try to dream

And every night as I slip into darkness I know nothing is as it seems

I try not to fall in the traps Lord I try to stay on the path

But every now and then when I wake up someone’s screaming ‘motherfucker you fell off the map’ and they say

Hey Slackjaw!

Just tell me where you think you are

Follow one law

And hope you don’t stray this far

Hey Slackjaw!

Just tell me where you think you’ve been

You’ve heard it before, you’ll hear it some more

And some day you’ll hear it again

Just a-ringin’ in your ears!
