Number Three Lyrics

	Vocal：John Flansburgh/John Linnell
	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 just 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 'cause
	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 just digging up my music's shallow grave
	For the two songs in me and the third one I just made
	So I went to the President
	And I asked old what's-his-name
	Has he ever gotten writer's 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
	But I politely told the ladies
	'You'll still have to call me Sir
	Because I have to keep my self-respect
	I'll never be a star
	Since there's just two songs in me
	And this is Number Three'
