Lyrics SADIE AND THE FAT MAN
I’ve seen it, people
I’ve seen little boys turn into men
I’ve seen some girls I knew who could make me sweat
But they won’t be pretty again
I’ve seen every type of Romeo trying to do a “show-me-show”
With nothing but his dick in his hands
If I was in a movie now
I’d have to play the old man
And I don’t like getting fat, no
I hate to see my arms jiggle
But right now working out
It doesn’t fit into my schedule

But Sadie told me someday she would see me again
And said, “Be a good person ‘till then”

I look for you in windows
I’ve looked for you in many dirty magazines
I’ve been heroes, sure… I’ve been villains more
But I mostly be in-betweens
Now every time some punk comes up
Says he’s thunkin’ something up
I’ve learned to roll my eyes
But I say, “I hope you make it, Bud…
I’d love to be surprised.”
Then at night I jot a few notes down
While I am on the elliptical
The scale says I’ve already lost five pounds
Do you think it’s noticeable?

But Sadie told me someday she would see me again
And said, “Be a good person ‘till then”

I think of you at least twice a day
Everyday
Anyway, what I mean to say is
That sometimes fate fucks up
How you got the job and I got the shaft
You move off to movie-land not to come back
With your actor’s life, actor’s checks
And boy haircut (real short)
Though I know it’s not career
That makes us who we are
Still in a strange way
It has a large part to play
In helping us find our identity

So you married him and I married her
We both started lives (not together)
Just the other day my wife found a box of letters in the closet
She said, “What’s this?”
I said, “Aw, nothing… Just a box of papers from high school or something…”
I took it from her and while she wasn’t looking
I locked it in a more safe spot
You know I hate keeping secrets
I really do love my wife so much
Still in a strange way you had a large part to play
In helping me find my identity
So I can’t let you go

My days are short now
I’m asleep more than I’m awake
There’s more of a chance that we’ll meet in dreams
Than there is when I’m awake
Now when that boy that’s made of me
Comes in with his Batman tee
And says, “Hey man, you want to wrestle?”
I say, “Your dad’s asleep right now, maybe in a little while…”
Then at noon when I finally do start to move
I head straight for my favorite room
And eat a bit more than I think I should
Eating really does help me feel good

But Sadie told me someday she would see me again
And said, “Be a good person ‘till then”
