Standing On The Corner

I was standing on the corner, wondering what's become of me
I was standing on the corner, wondering what's become of me
Well things don't seem to be the way they used to seem to be

I think I'll go up on a mountain, I'll fling myself off into space
I think I'll go up on a mountain, I'll fling myself off into space
I'm not doing it because I'm desperate, I'm just trying to save some space

If you ask me what my name is, I'll just stop and scratch my head
If you ask me what my name is, I'll just stop and scratch my head
Well they took away my name and gave me a number instead

Well all the things I used to know, they seem so far behind
All the things I used to know seem so far behind
There's a lot of new things that are running around my mind

1. On at least one occasion, Jerry sang "I gave away my name and took a number instead" instead of "they took away my name and gave me a number instead."

2. On at least one occasion, Jerry sang "I left them all behind" instead of "they seem so far behind."

3. On at least one occasion, Jerry sang a different final verse:

    If you ask me what I'm doing, I can't answer right
    If you ask me what I'm doing, I can't answer right
    Seems like nothin' ever changes, and nothing's gonna turn out right
