i heard a tale about someone i know
some pages failed the test of time
i fill them in with something nice
and i get lost completely

i know the way the ending goes
it's written vague but even so
it comes to life
and always steals the show

i've seen the man, that silhouette
he comes through with a strut
his eyes are closed, his mind is numb
so he goes with his gut

it's a tradeoff but i know it works
it works just like it fails
it conjures up that presence
one that acts under a veil

he's wild, but he's supposed to be
he's shaking with the earth
he's honest and assertive and
he knows just what he's worth

i sometimes see myself in him
i know just what he sees
what's right there in the moment
not the moment as it leaves

so keep him close while he's around
one night is all he'll last
come morning, he's that silhouette
that's smudged into the past
