Common Man
Common man, six foot tall he stands
Waiting on his date for some company party in France
And oh, she's late, the boss man said "a quarter till eight"
And as nine rolled around at his watch he's looking down
The ticking fate
And oh the funny thing about love is it makes you wait
He wore his good shoes
Now he's walking them home with the homesick blues
Feeling like he fucked up
It's all right he'll get back up because he chooses to
His over-coat, speckled with snow he walks alone
Just then he turns his head and sees a girl
Of which they said the poets wrote
Don't hesitate my dear, don't wait put it all on the line
I'm a leap of faith my dear, and I'm slipping down your spine
And I will wait my dear, till I'm dead or the end of my time
Or you let me know you're mine
He went insane, oh the thoughts of her tortured his brain
So he re-traced his steps, so he would not forget where she'd been
And she was gone, just the scent of her lingered on
So he lived all of his days with his head stuck in a maze half stoned
Don't hesitate my dear, don't wait put it all on the line
I'm a leap of faith my dear, and I'm slipping down your spine
And I will wait my dear, till I'm dead or the end of my time
Or you let me know you're mine
Or you let me know that you're mine
Waiting on his date for some company party in France
And oh, she's late, the boss man said "a quarter till eight"
And as nine rolled around at his watch he's looking down
The ticking fate
And oh the funny thing about love is it makes you wait
He wore his good shoes
Now he's walking them home with the homesick blues
Feeling like he fucked up
It's all right he'll get back up because he chooses to
His over-coat, speckled with snow he walks alone
Just then he turns his head and sees a girl
Of which they said the poets wrote
Don't hesitate my dear, don't wait put it all on the line
I'm a leap of faith my dear, and I'm slipping down your spine
And I will wait my dear, till I'm dead or the end of my time
Or you let me know you're mine
He went insane, oh the thoughts of her tortured his brain
So he re-traced his steps, so he would not forget where she'd been
And she was gone, just the scent of her lingered on
So he lived all of his days with his head stuck in a maze half stoned
Don't hesitate my dear, don't wait put it all on the line
I'm a leap of faith my dear, and I'm slipping down your spine
And I will wait my dear, till I'm dead or the end of my time
Or you let me know you're mine
Or you let me know that you're mine
