Someone stood beside me for a moment in the rain
|
A silhouette, a cigarette, and a gesture of disdain
|
I felt a dark door open, saw a sudden ghost come through
|
A spark leapt from my fingertip and I knew it must be you
|
|
Ain't you the man who dies every day?
|
You're the man who dies every day
|
You're the man
|
|
We never saw you walk in, we never saw you leave
|
You flick the ashes off a lap on everybody's sleeve
|
You always play that funny pack of cards without an ace
|
And every street you ever walked is mapped out on your face
|
|
'Cause you're the man who dies every day
|
You're the man who dies every day
|
You're the man
|
|
You always kept a sunset behind your lonely shoulder
|
You never showed on photographs and you never grew much older
|
You flicker like a shaky shadow, moving like a thief
|
You never drop your facade and you never seek relief
|
|
'Cause you're the man who dies every day
|
You're the man who dies every day
|
You're the man who dies every day
|
You're the man who dies every day
|
You're the man
|
