The Man in the Corner
He's been sitting here for 35 years
just staring at the cracks in the walls
The jukeboxes change, and the bartenders' names
That don't bother him at all
He's got pictures in his head
not Picasso, Van Gogh or Warhol
One thing still haunts him in his thoughts
She'll be whispering in his ear 'till last call
Some nights seem to take him back in time
Some nights seem to rip out his insides
Some of these nights he is just like you and I
Wrestling with that memory in his drunken mind
I've been coming here for 20 odd years
just to drink away the pain from my heart
He's always there in the corner by the stairs
He thanks me for the beer that I once bought
Something familiar in those tired twisted eyes
makes me wonder 'bout the battles that he has fought
and in the end, the bottle makes us friends
He's a better man than I once thought
Some nights seem to take him back in time
Some nights seem to rip out his insides
Some of these nights he is just like you and I
Wrestling with that memory in his drunken mind
just staring at the cracks in the walls
The jukeboxes change, and the bartenders' names
That don't bother him at all
He's got pictures in his head
not Picasso, Van Gogh or Warhol
One thing still haunts him in his thoughts
She'll be whispering in his ear 'till last call
Some nights seem to take him back in time
Some nights seem to rip out his insides
Some of these nights he is just like you and I
Wrestling with that memory in his drunken mind
I've been coming here for 20 odd years
just to drink away the pain from my heart
He's always there in the corner by the stairs
He thanks me for the beer that I once bought
Something familiar in those tired twisted eyes
makes me wonder 'bout the battles that he has fought
and in the end, the bottle makes us friends
He's a better man than I once thought
Some nights seem to take him back in time
Some nights seem to rip out his insides
Some of these nights he is just like you and I
Wrestling with that memory in his drunken mind
