I decided to live for man instead of | |
God I don’t know how it happened | |
I learned when you live for man, you die for man | |
I didn’t have to die | |
It takes a lot longer to die than to live | |
I was wondering if you wear out | |
Many clothes these days | |
If you lose, or need to change, or outgrow | |
And is it easy to let your old clothes go | |
And bring them | |
To the place for the other unknown segment | |
Who somehow wants them | |
I decide this way is the best | |
But the time is so hard to corral | |
And pull out little intrigants (?) | |
Which I can’t read no more | |
I surely can’t keep the light on | |
It’s too dark to see | |
Let me tell you somethin’ | |
I sure can hear | |
I sure can hear | |
They didn’t know that | |
They knew | |
I couldn’t see | |
But they forgot | |
That I could still hear | |
And hearing is knowing | |
I knew all about ’em, yes | |
I don’t know how they even got so close | |
For me to even hear them | |
But they know that | |
I’m listening now | |
And I’ve got some plans | |
To stop anything negative dead in its tracks | |
Go away now | |
You’re too heavy on my mind | |
I need to lay back | |
Close my eyes | |
So go away now | |
Before you’re gone |
I decided to live for man instead of | |
God I don' t know how it happened | |
I learned when you live for man, you die for man | |
I didn' t have to die | |
It takes a lot longer to die than to live | |
I was wondering if you wear out | |
Many clothes these days | |
If you lose, or need to change, or outgrow | |
And is it easy to let your old clothes go | |
And bring them | |
To the place for the other unknown segment | |

But the time is so hard to corral | |
And pull out little intrigants ? | |
Which I can' t read no more | |
I surely can' t keep the light on | |
It' s too dark to see | |
Let me tell you somethin' | |
I sure can hear | |
I sure can hear | |
They didn' t know that | |
They knew | |

But they forgot | |

I knew all about ' em, yes | |
I don' t know how they even got so close | |
For me to even hear them | |
But they know that | |
I' m listening now | |
And I' ve got some plans | |

Go away now | |
You' re too heavy on my mind | |
