lyrics
remember when i threw out all your trust?
and i became no different than any other man,
yeah.

now, let me tell you about my face
and how it began to twitch
or, i could slip into great detail
about the things i concern myself with,
yeah.

like say, for instance:

"what are we doing on this Earth?!
we should be going back and forth!
between the stars above and here!"

but you won't believe me
and i guess that's just a fact that i'll have to live with,
yeah.

so if i've got problems
then could my problems
be because i am a man?
well, i don't think they can…

yeah.

and still i wander back and forth
trying to get back to you or
wherever i can
and i don't understand what it means these days
if i call myself a 'man,'
but i don't think i can,
you know, i feel it bubble up sometimes
i can't help it that walls get in the way
and if i fuck up my knuckles
it doesn't mean that i could ever
stop loving you, my dear!

ooh, well i don't mean to scare you, but now
this is the dawning of my life as a man

my life as a new man

and if you see what I mean,
then you know I ain't kidding,
but here I sing now and then,
to keep my head on straight and tight!

now, ooh: well, i don't mean to scare you now,
but ooh: it's hard to see you frightened now,
and ooh: i'm trying to take my blinders off,
and now,

i don't see this
i don't see life
i just see me
i don't see anything at all

i don't see this
i don't see life
i could see you
if i saw anything at all

if i could see this
i would live life
i would be you
i could be anything that i wanted to be

and it's safer to say that i'm living in fear
in the world of a man, as i do all i can
to make a good name in the eyes
of a fellow man.

Another was me walking around a house (that was mine, but wasnt, you know how that goes), and I had shaved my beard, and was reading The Great American Novel by Philip Roth instead of the book Im reading now, in protest of something I didnt know.
