THE GINGERBREAD MAN is the story or, maybe more accurately, one of the many journeys of an entity that visits the minds of human beings, and spies upon their thoughts. In the center of these personalities, the Gingerbread Man finds each person’s individual “brain song,” an infectious piece of pop music that floats around in their mind. The Gingerbread Man recognizes this “brain song” as a human’s unconscious attempt at creating order in the quagmire of chaos constantly confusing its mental condition. Because of his ultimately detached position, The Gingerbread Man has no real emotional stake in the lives of these people, but they do represent an ongoing sense of amusement for him. In the end he sums up his feelings toward humanity with a brief song of his own.

Ah, she's asleep He tries to help I know he loves me But sometimes he seems so out of touch And all he cares about are his words So old and tired I need someone to help me And what if that guy follows him? Last week he told me about that man who kept staring at him I can see him with his throat cut now Oh, why do I do this? I can see it all - school picture in the newspaper "Child savagely slain" God, I wish he was home nowTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
