    poppy, snappy and hooky, not to mention funny rock tune, kind of like XTC, with a keyboard part straight out of a 50's sci-fi flick

    Story Behind the Song
    autobiographical song about the fear of strangers and taking risks, totally making fun of myself (Mr. K in the lyrics). started out as kind of a fast reggae song. I think everyone can relate to this one, if you've ever passed up a golden opportunity then kicked yourself later, over and over. another of my updated horror movie tunes
    Scott: guitars, drum program, keyboards, vocals
    Charlie: bass

    Lyrics
    I only want to feel like a human
    like Im warm Ive got brains Ive got glands
    I only want that girl to know that
    I am not some wild psycho
    I only want to feel the touch of
    some others hands
    I havent got any lethal neuroses
    I can give I can take I can wait
    but maybe I wasted too much time
    and maybe I mumbled my best lines
    and now Im stuck inside a slow
    revolving gate
    now Im fast shrinking away
    a couple of inches every day
    come on wont you give a hand?
    better hurry while you still can to
    the Incredible Shrinking Man
    can we touch without an infection?
    can we share an agreeable thought?
    is it too much a hazardous game
    to trade a smile for a name
    or have I dug myself into a
    deep monastic plot?
    now Im fast shrinking away
    a couple of inches every day
    come on wont you give a hand?
    better hurry while you still can to
    the Incredible Shrinking Man
    well I dont expect a miracle cure
    we always get just what we work for
    if you choose to back away
    from offers dropped right in your way
    well Mr. K, youre going to be
    all gone some day
    is there a bus that I havent taken?
    was I too early or fashionably late?
    show me a script I havent revised
    Ill show you a future unrealized
    and fantasies more passionate
    than life can create
    now Im fast shrinking away
    a couple of inches every day
    come on wont you give a hand?
    better hurry while you still can to
    the Incredible Shrinking Man
