Lyrics for Man of Action
You are now listening to the Audio of Being Between the night and day Lost in the law of averages What would you know Unless you'd lived a life of it? They say the kid sold out In love with himself, run ragged Always looked to be a man of action 'Cause that's what the old man Should have been, but... This world it wore him out, eh Pa? This world it wears you out I disappeared today I went under if only for a second And I found where the lights drown If you lie down You can disappear altogether You can disappear I got me a whore head I got me a day star I lost me control of myself And baby, I don't want it back No, I don't wanna be like that If this is us in control Of ourselves Between the night and day With so few eyes left open Your forgiveness ain't a neighbourhood That I'm looking to live in Maybe this world it wore me out This world it wears you out I disappeared today I went under, if only for a second And I found where the lights drown If you lie down You can disappear altogether You can disappear altogether You can disappear I got me a whore head I got me a day star I lost me control of myself And baby, I don't want it back No, I don't wanna be like that If this is us in control Of ourselves
