Lyrics the man himself - Gang of Youths

the man himself

The days
The weeks
And the years
Rolled on by
All the unending pavement
And beauty in the architecture
There was angels in the ornaments
In underneath you
And they’re humming away
Hummin' away
'Til I get what I need
Hey now
I dunno what to feel
I dunno how to feel right
But I want to become my own man, I guess
Hey now
I dunno if I’ll ever feel right
And let everything change
To things that can make a man grow tall
There’s a painting of you
And it hangs in our kitchen now
So when my kid’s getting high
In a hot wired symphony
And I’m looking for sage advice
You’ll be humming away
Humming away
Like everything’s fine
Hey now
I dunno what to feel
I dunno how to feel right
But I want to become my own man, I guess
Hey now
I dunno if I’ll ever feel right
And let everything change
To things that can make a man grow tall
Just take a simple step at a simple pace
And maybe the outward momentum
Maybe un-fuck you in time
So comb your hair
And clean your teeth
And dial back home
At least once or twice every week
And make sure that you see them more
Than I do with mine
But if they’re out of the way
Out of the way
Then everything’s fine
Hey now
I dunno what to feel
I dunno how to feel right
But I want to become my own man, I guess
Hey now
I dunno if I’ll ever feel right
And let everything change
To things that can make a man grow tall
Out of the way
Out of the way
And everything
Hummin' away
Hummin' away at everything
