Automatic Pilot lyrics

Derelict in my Doorway

There's a derelict in my doorway
Peeing on my floorway
Please chase him away.
When my friends come by they smell him
And I don't know what to tell them
Please chase him away.
There's a derelict in my doorway
Better get back
His bottle is empty
He's about to attack!

He is ranting and he's raving
And I don't know what he's saying
Please chase him away.

(Derelict:)
Tell me brother can you help me?
Can you help me with a quarter?


Please TAKE him away!
There's a derelict in my doorway
Better get back
His bottle is empty
He's about to attack!

(Derelict:)
I'm cold!
I'm hungry!
Please help me!


There's a derelict in my doorway
And I don't know what to do
Looks like I'm gonna have to
Sic the fuzz on you.
The psycho cops are coming
With Thorazine and lead
They're going to stop that crazy
Voice in your head.
There's a derelict in my doorway
Better be quick
He's headed this way
He's about be sick!
(vomiting noises)

(Derelict:)
(derelict noises)
They kicked me out of the hospital.
They cut off my check.
I can't find a stinking job.
PLEASE HELP ME!


D d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d
Derelict in my doorway.

(Derelict:)
Derelict in my doorway?


Derelict in my doorway!

(Derelict:)
That's me!


D d d d d d d d derelict
In my doorway!!
