TALKIN' TO LARRY LYRICS

I could really go for a nice cup of coffee right now
I think it's going to rain today
We watch the El go by
We watch the pigeons fly
And feed them McDonald's fries

I could really go for a nice can of Old Style right now
I think I'm going to jump off a bridge today
We watch the kids smoke crack
While I scratch Larry's back
He dreams of a Big Mac

Larry used to be Polish
He used to work in a lamp factory
I says, Hey Larry, why don't you make me a lamp some time?
He says he'll make me a big red one

Larry's a nice old gent but you don't want to get too close to him
If you get too close to him he just might mistake you for a friend
If you get too close to him his smell might wear off on your clothes
But if you get too close to him you just might see yourself
In the wrinkles in his face
Ohh! But I'm just talkin' to Larry!

I'm just talkin' to, I'm just talkin' to Larry
I'm just talkin' to, I'm just talkin' to Larry
