Oh the salesman is a bright shiny spirit Or maybe you've just had a bad day Or maybe your baby's gone and left you And that's why you're driving away In a 1971 Chevy Nova with a 501 and a 12-to-1 etc, etc Oh the salesman is a bright shiny spirit His face filled with vigor and vim Just close the deal with a handshake He'll transfer that love That gift from a above To the object that winds up on your table CHORUS: And what are you in for now? Oh, what are you in for now ? And what are you in for now? Oh, what are you in for now ?
Well the salesman takes a break and drinks his coffee Looks up into the night sky And just like that other fallen angel He asks his father why Bridge waltz: Did you lead me through the dark To the land of sunny parks To the days before your expectations Broke me heart, broke my heart, broke my heart Oh, the TV is a red ruby Satan Broadcast to your soul from below And the salesman has a bright shiny vision That tattooed bar code From which all riches flow From Wall Street to Frankfurt to Tokyo CHORUS
