(Music: Marillion Lyrics: John Helmer)
|
|
I'm the man of a thousand faces
|
A little piece of me in every part I take
|
I hold the tape for a thousand races
|
A different point of view in every speech I make
|
Cut me a piece of my divided soul
|
Cry me a river, call it rock and roll
|
Speak to a leader with the voice of command
|
And when I talk to God I know he¡¯ll understand
|
I speak to machines with the voice of humanity
|
I'll Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
|
|
I¡¯m the man of a thousand faces
|
A little piece of me in every part I take
|
I hold the tape for a thousand races
|
A different point of view in every speech I make
|
|
Cut me a piece of my divided soul
|
Cry me a river, call it rock and roll
|
Give me an attitude and watch me make it lie
|
Pass me a microphone
|
I need to testify
|
|
Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity
|
Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
|
Speak to the present in the past and future tense
|
Speak to a slave with the voice of obedience
|
|
I¡¯m the man of a thousand ages
|
You see my face in the stones of the Parthenon
|
You hear my song in the babble of Babylon
|
I¡¯m the man of a thousand riches
|
Be my guest at the feast of Satyricon
|
You spend the money that my logo¡¯s printed on
|
|
Well I'll speak to machines with the voice of humanity
|
Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
|
Speak to the present in the past and future tense
|
Speak to a slave with the voice of obedience
|
|
I stole a fire but it burned up much too soon
|
I took a leap and I landed on the moon
|
Look at my life and it looks like CNN
|
You see something once y¡¯know it¡¯s gonna come around again
|
|
Well I¡¯ll speak to machines with the voice of humanity
|
Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
|
Speak to a woman with the fatal charm of a snake
|
Forgive like a giver and account for all I take
|
|
Yes, I Speak to machines with the voice of humanity
|
Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
|
Speak like a leader with the voice of power and command
|
And when I talk to God I know he¡¯ll understand
|
|
Cause I¡¯m the man of a thousand faces
|
Yes I¡¯m the man of a thousand faces
|
|
I stole a fire but it burned up too much too soon
|
I took a leap and I landed on the moon..
|
|
Voice of command
|
Voice of a snake
|
Voice of humanity
|
Voice of insanity
|
|
Voice of command
|
Voice of a snake
|
Voice of humanity
|
Voice of insanity
|
|
Voice of command
|
Voice of obedience
|
Thousand faces
|
Thousand races
|
|
Cry me a river
|
Face in the stars
|
Stones in the Parthenon
|
Babble of Babylon
|
|
Voice of command
|
Voice of a snake
|
Voice of humanity
|
Voice of insanity
|
|
Thousand faces
|
Thousand races
|
Cry me a river
|
Steal a fire
|
|
Face in the stars
|
Stones in the Parthenon
|
Babble of Babylon
|
Landed on the moon
|
