Lyrics What Does the Normal Man Feel? - Nation of Language

What Does the Normal Man Feel?

Hello sense of wonder, sense of wonder
All the evidence of love and loss
Endlessly forgot
Counting down the number, down the number
Of the seconds til you turn it off
Seconds til you’re off
I’m free from it
What does the normal man feel?
Hello sense of wonder, sense of wonder
All the tenements of love that fall
To venomous applause
Counting down the number, down the number
Of the vanities you’ve burned and lost
Vanities you’ve lost
I’m free from it
What does the normal man feel?
Can I find it inside myself?
Tell me what does the normal man feel?
I’ve gotta know, what does the normal man feel?
