| Selling papers on the corner,
|
| I saw a man yesterday.
|
| I asked him if he’d wanna
|
| Tell me what made him this way.
|
| He said, when it’s born, it’s warm,
|
| Then it gathers strength in lies,
|
| When it falls, it falls all over you.
|
| He used to pick his friends.
|
| They left him in the end.
|
| An easy thing to lose,
|
| The right to pick and choose.
|
| When it’s born, it’s warm,
|
| Then it gathers strength in lies,
|
| When it falls, it falls all over you.
|
| He said he left his wife,
|
| The back-bone of his life.
|
| Another came along,
|
| But now I guess she’s gone.
|
| When it’s born, it’s warm,
|
| Then it gathers strength in lies,
|
| When it falls, it falls all over you.
|
| I think I used to see
|
| That old man on TV,
|
| Can you be the same?
|
| It seems like such a shame.
|
| When it’s born, it’s warm,
|
| Then it gathers strength in lies,
|
| When it falls, it falls all over you.
|
| The world he thought he knew,
|
| Has better things to do.
|
| As I went on my way
|
| I thought I heard him say:
|
| When it’s born, it’s warm,
|
| Then it gathers strength in lies,
|
| When it falls, it falls all over you. |
