I'm a collector, I collect anything I find
 I never throw anything away that's mine
 And I'd collect you too if I was given half a chance
 And trap you under the glass and add my autograph

 I catalog, I preserve, and I index
 And file you into my collectible Rolodex
 I keep the rubbish what other people give away
 And keep all of the pieces in a metal tray

 Hoard - collect - file - index
 Catalog - preserve - amass - index

 I'm a collector and I've always been misunderstood
 I like the things that people always seem to overlook
 I gather up and catalog it in a book I wrote
 There's so much now that I forget if I don't make a note

 If I collected you and put you in a little cage
 I could take you out and study you every day
 It isn't easy being me, it's kind of lonely work
 My obligation to collecting is my only thirst
