"I, Melvin" lyrics - NOFX

Mascara hides the sleepless nights
Years of abuse, the downs and highs
A lonely drunk staggers on stage
Weathered and worn, battered and broken,
I feel my age

Like a puppet on strings,
Look he strums and he sings,
I feel like a cartoon
I'm alone on the stage,
I'm the man on the moon

I'm the deer in the headlights,
I'm the fish in the bowl
I'm on automatic pilot,
I am remote controlled

Just a second guitarist,
Playing on the 3rd string
I'm the disclaimer,
I'm a walking routine

I'm happily a cog,
Stand me up, plug me in
Like a robot
I play all the songs with a grin
I am Eric Melvin
