am 35 and I'm very much alive I mean Jim Morrison was just a little kid when he died There's the story of Icarus and his fall And something follows me around that connects me to it all
I get the feeling it's growing stronger lately I tried to hose it down With the whitest paint of all But this shadow of mine still drives me crazy Standing dark and threateningly erect against the wall
It takes a man to love you baby It takes a man to love you baby
I'm still wondering what's worse, your mediocre sins Or that you're writing for everyone's approval again But then again me, whenever I get lonely I start writing for you and your approval only
So what was I supposed to do with you babe I know you love your combination of poetry and jazz Well I'm eloquent, but not that eloquent I can state something profound about your tits and ass
It takes a man to love you baby It takes a man to love you baby
I am dangerous, but I'm discreet about violence I'm the midnight hour striking the city clock in silence I am dangerous, but I'm discreet about violence Until they're turning up the heat and I'm burning up in fire
In Papa New Guinea there lives a tribe Who turn the boys into men with a rite They believe they have to consume the semen of the adults so their maturity can take shape Well that's fucking weird I guess I should have blown a man before I met you babe
I fought a holy war but believing I did not Until they showed me the wall where the infidels were shot I hung around for the chase till I lost track of the scent Then I joined the statisticians for 33 percent
Then I hung around with the spiritual But they had a pissing test I just couldn't beat So I joined the prophets of bad weather Until one day my sunglasses betrayed me
It takes a man to love you baby It takes a man to love you baby
There's a woodpecker that keeps me up at night You just wait for that tree to come down on my pride I'm obsessing over my artist life I'm obsessed with the idea of being obsessed with an artist life you see And I'm working on an idea David Bowie had ages before me But I just keep grinding away at the factory
Cause I'm 35 and I'm very much alive I mean Jim Morrison was just a little kid when he died But I'm gonna live a good life I'm gonna live a straight life The moment I figure out what the fuck that looks like
One day they made it clear that the teaching had begun When I saw how to kill a boy who's outnumbered five to one Hair grew in places where it was not supposed to grow I wanted to be mature but not so mature that it would show
It takes a man to love you baby It takes a man to love you baby It takes a man to love you baby It takes a man to love you baby
I would talk bad about my mother for you But please don't ask me to I would fall on my sword for you But please don't ask me to I would step into Indian traffic for you But please don't ask me to I would draw all the prophets for you But please don't ask me to I would pull a stranger's hair out the shower drain for you But please I would take a walk on the Kinsey scale for you Well we both know that's not true It's just what I have to tell myself I did for you
It takes a man to love you baby It takes a man to love you baby It takes a man to love you baby It takes a man to love you babyTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
