This is a song by Mono Puff, (a side band of TMBG with the singer John Flansburg).

I could be wrong, but I thought I once heard this song was about a man working in a shop or something of the like. He was unsupervised while working, so when he got distracted, he slipped and hit his head, and cut his right hand off. "Now I'm left-handed" and "You could count on me with just one hand." After that incident, no one wanted to leave him alone in fear something would happen again, "I was invisible" and "I was unsupervised, I had a real good time. Until I…" "Could be living underneath the ground" might be referring to the idea he could be dead.

I don't really remember though… I could be crazy and have just dreamt it all up.
