Lyrics for Man from Pakistan

This man was walking, down by the curb He had lost his saddle in the mud This guy was crying, tears from his eyes Part of his body was paralyzed I thought it was a dream Strangest thing I've seen O'er and o'er and over, 'til I think I don't exist So I went up to him, and asked him what He was doing, and who he was? He said his memory had been dilluted He said he once was electrocuted I thought it was a dream Strangest thing I've seen O'er and o'er and over, 'til I think I don't exist He said he'd come from Pakistan Where he was beaten by a policeman That's why he walked, a duty crawl And acted like he knew it all I thought it was a dream Strangest thing I've seen O'er and o'er and over, 'til I think I don't exist
