[Intro]
(Good evening, Mexico City)
(Thank you for coming)
(I am a collector)

[Verse 1]
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 catalogue, I preserve, and I index
And file you into my collectable Rolodex
I keep the rubbish, what other people throw away
And keep all of the pieces in a metal tray

[Chorus]
Hoard, collect
File, index
Catalogue, preserve
Amass, index

[Verse 2]
I'm a collector and I've always been misunderstood
I likе the things that people always seem to ovеrlook
I gather up and catalogue 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
[Chorus]
Hoard, collect
File, index
Catalogue, preserve
Amass, index

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Hoard, collect
File, index
Catalogue, preserve
Amass, index
