Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Puttin' It Down

Big pain burnin' now
Givin' me a cow
What you seem to be saying
Is you're patiently waiting

Like an ashtray for the butt
Well I'm puttin' it down
When you're not picking it up
When I'm puttin' it down

But you treat me like a clown
And I don't want to be funny
Fat chance glued to the wall
Like a centerfold

Of an old cannonball
Will you put me inside
Your TV tonight
Cos you're treatin' me like a rerun

Well I'm puttin' it down
But you're not pickin' it up
Well I'm puttin' it down
But you treat me like a clown

And I don't want to be funny
No no no no no
So what
I lost my job at the hut

My ass got cut
But I'll be better at kissin'
When my teeth are all missin'
And the silverware's burnt

And I'm eatin' with my fingers
And I'm puttin' it down
And you're not pickin' it up

Well I'm puttin it down
But you treat me like a clown
And I don't want to be funny
