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
