My man

                    Muscles from hand to foot

                    Completely coated in uninteruppted skin

                    My man

                    Signals command the leg

                    To follow orders coming down from headquarters

                    Why then am I in bed?

                    I guess my man's fallen out with my head



                    May I direct your attention to the following simile

                    You're like the coasts of an ocean

                    Buried beneath is a submarine cable

                    Connecting the opposite shores that surround it



                    My man

                    How can he stand?

                    Your fingers could encircle clear around the ankle

                    My man won't walk again

                    In conflict with express instructions given by the brain

                    Why can't the message be sent?

                    I guess my man's fallen out with my head



                    When something happens to drag on the floor of the ocean

                    For instance an anchor or mooring

                    The cable can be disrupted and even be severed

                    Which halts the transmission across it



                    There is no way to repair the break



                    My man

                    Muscles from hand to foot

                    Completely coated in uninteruppted skin

                    My man

                    Signals command the leg

                    To follow orders coming down from headquarters

                    My man

                    How can he stand?

                    My man

                    Muscles from hand to foot

                    Completely coated in uninteruppted skin

                    My man

                    Won't walk again
