"Shrinking Man" lyrics - RY COODER

Well it's a change in the ocean, change in the sea, woke up one morning was a change in me
I put on my pants, my pants fell down, I put on my shoes and they fell off too
I looked in the mirror, was nothing to see, that's how it goes when you're a shrinking man like me

[Chorus:]
Shrinking man, shrinking man, nobody was worried 'bout a shrinking man
Worried man with a worried song, shrinking man ain't gonna be here long

Sometimes I worry 'bout clothes, 'cause a shrinking man's got to look good sometime
Don't need no sweatshop child puttin' shoes on my feet this time
Chained to a sewing machine, down in hell where the sun don't shine
Look as good as you can, but please don't rob your fellow man

[Chorus]

Sometimes I worry 'bout food, 'cause a shrinking man's got to eat right sometime
I don't need much and I don't pay no starvation wage to poor folks out on the poison ground
You don't rob the land when you're just a little old shrinking man

[Chorus]

Sometimes I worry bout prayer, 'cause a shrinking man better be a prayin' man
Once I had a dream that was working, I had good ideas, I made big plans
Now I'm just like a leaf in the wind that's blowing, I hope King Jesus can understand

[Chorus]

Shrinking man
