Multipurpose Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Insert flap a into slot 2b
Roll me, roll me, roll me toward my
Destiny
I'm a room for your love
I'm a factory for war
A hungry artist knocking at
The rich man's door
A morality play
A pornography store
A scorched earth fire
In the nuclear core
I'm your very own living
Multipurpose man
Your cowardly lion and your
Blemished lamb
And i'll be saved
And i'll be damned
I'm your very own living
Multipurpose man
Fold panel 3 along the dotted line
Drink me, drink me, drink me
I'm a cheap red wine
An alcoholic dream
A promissory note
A discouraging word in
A mercenary's throat
A hangman's noose
On an old frayed rope
A zephyr wind
And a paper boat
I'm your very own living
Multipurpose man
Your cowardly lion and your
Blemished lamb
And i'll be saved
And i'll be damned
I'm your very own living
Multipurpose man
A bad smell foggin' up the vestibule
Demigods, demagogues
Wise man, fool
The paper shredding keeper
Of the golden rule
So roll me, roll me, roll me
On back to you
Drink me, drink me, drink me
Roll me, roll me over, wind me, wind
Me, wind me…
I'm your very own living
Multipurpose man
Your cowardly lion and your
Blemished lamb
And i'll be saved
And i'll be damned
I'm your very own living
Multipurpose man
A bad smell foggin' up the vestibule
Demigods, demagogues
Wise man, fool
The paper shredding keeper
Of the golden rule
So roll me, roll me, roll me
On back to you
Hook my spring between
The flim and flam
Wind me up, wind me
I'm a monkey band
A mad whirling dervish and
A hard day's night
A kami kaze pilot on his thirteenth flight
An electrical storm
Ben franklin's kite
A doom's day clock
At twelve midnight
Fill me up, fill me, i'm a
White trash can
A klu klux klown and
An also ran, yeah
I'm yesterdays news
I'm a small foot note
A d.j. caring less
