The Incredible

I am the incredible shrinking man
The longer I live the smaller I stand
I was the irrelevant, misplaced son
Inconsequential, awkward and undone
Too short for the wishing well
Oh well, you can all just go to hell
And maybe today
Things will go my way
'Cause it all seems cruel
When you’re made to play the fool
Why ask why
After all, we die
Must seem like you’re always gone
In a world where you don’t belong
I am the incredible melting man
Becoming nothing as long as I can
I’ll be a puddle by the end of the day
Wasn’t much of a person anyway
Too late for the dinner bell
Oh well, you can all just go to hell
And maybe today
Things will go my way
'Cause it all seems cruel
When you’re made to play the fool
Why ask why
After all, we die
Must seem like you’re always gone
In a world where you don’t belong
It’d be fine I’d be having a ball
Don’t give me
It could happen to you each and all
But I need relief
I hurt you 'cause my mind is mush
That’s my excuse
I’m the widow hiding in the bush
And I’m on the loose
I’m a tiny angry man
Hurting all the people that I can
I am the incredibly wasted man
Thought I had a promise
Thought there was a plan
I am the incredulous thinking fuck
I threw away my time and I’m out of luck
It was as if my body had ceased to exist
There was no hunger
No longer the terrible fear of shrinking
