What a Guy

from Bottleneck by Martin Rivas

/

lyrics

No one would visit him there
No one would visit him anywhere
No one would write or call
And he didn't care

Nails and bones and frizzy hair
Skin and nipples extremely fair
All the reason to get chased off the beach in his underwear

On his legs he could barely stand
A kid could pick him up with one hand
Throw him and Lord only knows where he would land

What a guy
What a guy to try and be like
What a guy to try and be like
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be like that guy

The casino is packed
What kind of person would he attract with a massive pile of chips
He keeps 'em neatly stacked

Pulls some clay from off his rack
Plays the Yo and eases back
Elevens rolling for hours and people are screaming
He barely reacts

What a guy
What a guy to try and be like
What a guy to try and be like
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be like that guy

What a guy
What a guy to try and be like
What a guy to try and be like
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be like that guy
It's worth a try

No one would look at his face
No one would look at him anyplace
Like he was from undersea or outer space
Look at that face!

What a guy
What a guy to try and be like
What a guy to try and be like
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be like that guy

What a guy
What a guy to try and be like
What a guy to try and be like
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be like that guy
