lyrics

I drank my weight in whiskey
partook in many drugs
I gambled all my money
I gambled with my love
I wanted to be funny
and to be serious
I wanted to sing sing sing
I wanted to be interesting

I got into traveling
rode the silk road on a camel
was a lumberjack in the Adirondacks
all I wore was flannel
was a tin pan alley singer
even though my ear was tin
I lost so peopled be surprised when I'd win
in my quest to be interesting

I loved to tell made up stories
back in the days when my real life was boring
but now I'm so goddam interesting

wrote volumes of poetry all destroyed in a fire
killed a man in fort worth, tx
directed a harlem children's choir
I lost my mind in the desert
met the inventor of wind
and goddam did I sing
in my quest to be interesting
I did all this and more in my quest to be interesting

I did it I cheated everyone I've ever known
I lied and I stole made my fair share of broken homes
I testified in court against Timothy Leary
I'm interesting I'm interesting I'm interesting I'm interesting
and lonely

My quest to be interesting
made me wish I was never interesting
