Big Harp It's a Man

Tekst piosenki

It’s quiet on the front tonight
Between the dark and the dying light
Here where the wind is a drunkards voice
Hiding a sob in the mask of noise

I hear them whisper his name
I hear them whisper her name

Here within the lions mouth
See how they walk with their fingers down
They come to you now with open arms
A gentle provider with killers charms

I hear them whisper his name
I hear them whisper her name
I hear them whisper her name

Oh, he’s a man, he’s a righteous man of god and man
With a real life cigarette in his hand, man, he’s a man
She’s a girl, she’s a whole wide world
She’s the wick that’s curling
She’s the final curtain closing on the world
Oh, she’s a girl, she’s a flame, it’s the hidden name
It’s the wounded animal that spits it’s venom
In the living room

Oh it’s a flame, it’s a man, it’s a girl, it’s a flame, it’s a man, it’s a girl, it’s a flame

Dusk may lay down his harpoon
And go down below to the captain’s room
To fade in the vapor of kerosene
But hear as it sleeps, what it’s whispering

I hear them whisper his name
I hear them whisper her name
I hear it whisper her name

Oh, he’s a man, he’s a righteous man of god and man
With a real life cigarette in his hand man, he’s a man
She’s a girl, she’s a whole wide world
She’s the wick that’s curling
She’s the final curtain closing on the world
Oh, she’s a girl, she’s a flame, it’s the hidden name
It’s the wounded animal that spits it’s venom
In the living room

Oh it’s a flame, it’s a man, it’s a girl, it’s a flame, it’s a man, it’s a girl, it’s a flame
