Catatonia Country Rag

I suppose it could be worse, you know; I could be parked outside

With rain and snow to splatter me and birdlime on my hide

So here I sit, by day and night, ten yards above the floor

You know, it isn’t easy being Door



And here I am, a real open-and-shut case

A psychic burn-out, catatonic nut case

I tangled with sweet Winnowill, and that’s where I went wrong

Now I just shut and open all day long



They say some folks are humorless, they find laughter a bore

But elves should take a joke, we live a million years or more

Well, I slipped hair-remover into Winnowill’s shampoo

So Winnowill played me a joke or two



And here I am, a real open-and-shut case

A psychic burn-out, catatonic nut case

I tangled with sweet Winnowill, and that’s where I went wrong

Now I just shut and open all day long



Now, misery loves company, and I was all alone

And so I gave the walls a shake and made the ceiling groan

Sweet Winnie looked for earthquake faults until she found a trace

So now I have a partner, name of Brace



And here I am, a real open-and-shut case

A psychic burn-out, catatonic nut case

I tangled with sweet Winnowill, and that’s where I went wrong

Now I just shut and open all day long



It’s a lousy life we lead here, but not so bad as some

Brace says we will elope someday, but "someday" never comes

So, ‘til someone comes to free us or Blue Mountain wears away

We sit and shut and open night and day

And here I am, a real open-and-shut case

A psychic burn-out, catatonic nut case

I tangled with sweet Winnowill, and that’s where I went wrong

Now I just shut and open all day long

All day long

I just shut and open all day long

XOXO

in other words, let me paraphrase - do not wear this clothes if you're FAT.
