Pink Floyd - Vegetable Man


Vegetable Man

"Vegetable Man"    (Barrett)
In yellow shoes, I get the blues,
Though I walk the streets with in my plastic feet,
In my blue velvet trousers, make me feel pink.
There's a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers,
In my paisley shirt, I look a jerk,
And my turquoise waistcoat is quite out of sight.
But oh oh, oh my haircut looks so bad.
Vegetable man where are you?

So I've changed my dear, and I find my knees,
And I covered them up with the latest cut,
And my pants and socks all point in a box,
They don't make long of my nylon socks,
And my watch, black watch,
Black watch with a black face,
And a big pin, a little hole,
And all the lot is what I got,
It's what I wear, it's what you see,
It must be me, it's what I am,
Vegetable man.

I've been looking all over the place, for a place for me,
But it ain't anywhere, it just ain't anywhere.

Vegetable man, vegetable man, vegetable man,
Vegetable man, vegetable man, vegetable man,
Vegetable man, vegetable man, vegetable man.

He's the kind of person, you just gonna see him if you can,
Vegetable man.
