The Man
Oh Dad, come down from Heaven
I can't walk the extra mile now
I can't pull myself together
I can't fake another smile
Tonight I'm 42 and I'm tired
I know I lost to the siren
To be standin' on the platforms
Waitin' for trains that never come
Hope you got there, I do
Hope you got there
And the Man let you through
Hope you got there, I do
My heart is filled with acid
And my tongue is made of plastic
And my arms and hands and knees
They belong to someone else
As my soul died before me
As you left me for another
Or found this own apartment
In a more happy part of town
Hope you'll get there, I do
Hope you'll get there
And the Man will let him through
Hope you'll get there, I do
All those things I thought I could do better
I remember I wrote you that letter
That I could follow every rainbow
Sleep under the stars
All those nights that I'm now payin' for
All those years through those swingin' doors
All those rails to put our boots on
I really miss them sometimes
Hope you got there, I do
Hope you got there
And the Man let you through
Hope you got there, I do
Hope you got there, I do
I hope you got there
And that I will get there too
Hope the Man will let me through
I can't walk the extra mile now
I can't pull myself together
I can't fake another smile
Tonight I'm 42 and I'm tired
I know I lost to the siren
To be standin' on the platforms
Waitin' for trains that never come
Hope you got there, I do
Hope you got there
And the Man let you through
Hope you got there, I do
My heart is filled with acid
And my tongue is made of plastic
And my arms and hands and knees
They belong to someone else
As my soul died before me
As you left me for another
Or found this own apartment
In a more happy part of town
Hope you'll get there, I do
Hope you'll get there
And the Man will let him through
Hope you'll get there, I do
All those things I thought I could do better
I remember I wrote you that letter
That I could follow every rainbow
Sleep under the stars
All those nights that I'm now payin' for
All those years through those swingin' doors
All those rails to put our boots on
I really miss them sometimes
Hope you got there, I do
Hope you got there
And the Man let you through
Hope you got there, I do
Hope you got there, I do
I hope you got there
And that I will get there too
Hope the Man will let me through
