Man Of Misfortune |
See that man — i carry the world upon my back. |
Talk to that man — there is no hope, i never talk back. |
Sold my soul for a cheap ideal. |
The price i paid? |
the spice of life. |
Now i’m in a real dilemma, |
I must keep myself alive … alive … alive. |
Look at that man — what am i doing in a place like this? |
Pity that man — i live my life like it’s a crime! |
The sun goes dim, the moon turns black. |
What i gave away, i never got back. |
Now i’m in a real dilemma. |
I must keep myself alive … alive … alive. |
I see junk to my left! |
freaks to my right! |
Ain’t no one laughin'- ain’t nothing funny. |
Ain’t nothing happening. |
'cause we ain’t got no money! |
Hey! |
hey! |
hey! |
… misfortune! |
Woe! |
woe! |
woe! |
… misfortune! |
Watch that man! |
everything i see goes into a book. |
I said, watch that man! |
i live my life with a filthy look! |
Sold my soul for a cheap ideal. |
The price i paid? |
the spice of life. |
Now i’m in a real dilemma, |
I must keep myself alive. |
The angels they came to visit me. |
Some divine intervention … they said |
«are you the boy with the stars in your eyes? |
Are you the boy that fooled the world?» |
Flappin’their wings, tellin’me things. |
Flappin’their wings, tellin’me things… |
I said «i know what i like. |
i know what i want! |
But i never seem to know, i never seem to know. |
How to get that thing boy. |
how d’ya get that thing boy? |
Can you tell me how you got, how you got that thing? |
How d’ya get that thing boy?» |
See that man! |
talk to that man! |
Look at that man but don’t ya pity that man! |
I’m a man of misfortune! |
i’m a man of misfortune! |
Look at that man! |
watch that man! |
But na! |
na! |
no! |
don’t talk to that man! |
I’m a man of misfortune. |
i’m a man of misfortune. |
I must keep myself alive. |
i must keep myself alive. |
