I Knew About Them Lyrics - Jandek

I decided to live for man instead of God 

I don't know how it happened 

I learned when you live for man, you die for man 

I didn't have to die 

It takes a lot longer to die than to live 

I was wondering if you wear out 

Many clothes these days 

If you lose, or need to change, or outgrow 

And is it easy to let your old clothes go 

And bring them 

To the place for the other unknown segment 

Who somehow wants them 

I decide this way is the best 

But the time is so hard to corral 

And pull out little intrigants (?) 

Which I can't read no more 

I surely can't keep the light on 

It's too dark to see 

Let me tell you somethin' 

I sure can hear 

I sure can hear 

They didn't know that 

They knew I couldn't see 

But they forgot 

That I could still hear 

And hearing is knowing 

I knew all about 'em, yes 

I don't know how they even got so close 

For me to even hear them 

But they know that I'm listening now 

And I've got some plans 

To stop anything negative dead in its tracks 

Go away now 

You're too heavy on my mind 

I need to lay back 

Close my eyes 

So go away now 

Before you're gone
