the man himself

The days, the weeks

And the years rolled on by all the unending pavement

And beauty in the architecture of a two-bed

That I can scarcely see, you see

There was angels in the ornaments and underneath you

And they’re humming away, humming away

Till I get what I need

Hey now

I dunno what to feel

I dunno how to feel right

But I want to become my own man, I guess

Hey now

I dunno if I'll ever feel right

Let everything change

To things that can make a man grow tall

There's a painting of you

It hangs in our kitchen now

'Cause when my kid's getting high

In a hot-wired symphony

And I'm looking for sage advice

You'll be humming away, humming away

Like everything's fine

Hey now

I dunno what to feel

I dunno how to feel right

But I want to become my own man, I guess

Hey now

I dunno if I'll ever feel right

Let everything change

To things that can make a man grow tall

So take

A single step at a simple pace

And the outward momentum will maybe unfuck you in time

So comb your hair and clean your teeth

Dial back home at least one or twice a week

To be sure that you'll see them a lot more than I did with mine

But if they're out of the way, out of the way, then everything's fine

I dunno what to feel

I dunno how to feel right

But I want to become my own man, I guess

Hey now

I dunno if I'll ever feel right

Let everything change

To things that can make a man grow tall

Out of the way, out of the way and everything

Out of the way, out of the way and everything

Out of the way, humming away, humming away

Humming away, humming away

Out of the way and everything

Out of the way, out of the way and everything

Out of the way, out of the way and everything

Out of the way, out of the way and everything's fine
