It's time to put on these stinking clothes
On Tuesday I wished that the night would pass
Down in the Human Zoo
It was as much as I could do
There's always room for one more soul
Don't want you to come here though
Wishing the days away
Now a man can spend a lot of time
Would pass so quickly too
Somebody's knocking at the door
Here I am in the Hammersmith Hotel
And get out there and stink
Wondering what was on Jack Ruby's mind
So I could call you on the phone
They're out there making history
I want to come home to you
And here I am in the Hammersmith Hotel
On Saturday I wished it was Sunday
Sometimes I take a notion
Wishing the days away
Wednesday when you hung up
It's later than I think
To put a torch to the tools of my trade
Friday I wished that there was something more
Stop from wishing Thursday
Oh, will this torment ever end?
And time is all I have without you here
In the Lenin Shipyards today
Here I am in the Hammersmith Hotel
To be seen in the letters you sent
