Number Three Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

There's only two songs in me 

And I just wrote the third 

Don't know where I got the inspiration 

Or how I wrote the words 

Spent my whole life digging up my music's shallow grave 

For the two songs in me and the third one I just made 

A rich man once told me, 

"Hey life's a funny thing" 

A poor man once told me that 

He can't afford to speak 

Now i'm in the middle like a bird without a beak

Cuz there's just two songs in me 

And I just wrote the third 

Don't know where I got the inspiration 

Or how I wrote the words 

Spent my whole life digging up my music's shallow grave 

For the two songs in me and the third one I just made 

Well I went to the President 

And I asked old whats-his-name 

Has he ever gotten writers block 

Or something like the same 

He just started talking like he was on tv 

"If there's just two songs in ya boy, whaddaya want from me?"

So i bought myself some denim pants and a silver guitar 

And i politely told the ladies you still have to call me sir 

I have to keep my self respect or i'll never be a star 

cuz there's just two songs in me and this is...
