You are the man we both couldn't stand Can't wash off the dirt from your hands Can't scrub off the black from your lungs I can't get the taste off my tongue I will never go backwards I will never be free You will never run faster Will never be seen In the wake of disaster You are the house built upon sand You are the thought I couldn't plan The escape to something worse The shadow driving the hearse What was it like to feel in love? Had to sink down just to be with you.
