Shrinking Man Lyrics

Shrinking Man - Ry Cooder (莱·库德)

Lyricist：Ry Cooder

Composer：Ry Cooder

Well it's a change in the ocean change in the sea

Woke up one mornin' was a change in me

I put on my pants my pants fell down

Well I put on my shoes and they fell off too

I looked in the mirror was nothin' to see

That's how it goes when you're a shrinkin' man like me

Worried man with a worried song

Shrinkin' man ain't gonna be here long

Well sometimes I worry 'bout clothes

'Cause a shrinkin' man's gotta look good sometime

Don't need no sweatshop child puttin' shoes on my feet this time

Chained to a sewing machine down in hell where the sun don't shine

Look as good as you can but please don't rob your fellow man

Shrinkin' man shrinking man

Nobody was a worried 'bout a shrinkin' man

Sometimes I worry 'bout food

'Cause a shrinkin' man's got to eat right sometime

I don't need much and I don't pay no starvation wage

To poor folks out on the poison ground you don't rob the land

When you're just a little old shrinkin' man

Shrinkin' man

Nobody was worried 'bout a shrinking man

Worried man with a worried song

Shrinkin' man ain't gonna be here long

Sometimes I worry bout prayer

'Cause a shrinkin' man better be a prayin' man

Once I had a dream that was workin'

I had good ideas I made big plans

Now I'm just like a leaf in the wind that's blowin'

I hope King Jesus can understand

Shrinkin' man shrinkin' man

Nobody was worried 'bout a shrinking man

Worried man with a worried song

Shrinkin' man ain't gonna be here long

Shrinkin' man

Nobody was worried 'bout a shrinking man
