Don Johnson Big Band - Nightman lyrics

Your rating:

Intro



Saw a man in the street with his fist in the air

Treading along with a quiet limp and a mystery glare

This could be fair he insisted in a whisper and stared me down

As i passed him, asked him if they missed him and cared



Eyes suspicious, used to being attacked on

The smell of liquor in his breath, he had pride in his backbone

Said i'm just an old man with his life in a shopping cart

This dog is my family and i sleep in the park



But i wasn't always like this, never thought i'd fall this deep

All mystique is long gone, i'm in a hole and my call is weak

But the people just don't listen to a bum they all mistreat

And it's not easy to climb out when the wall is steep



Chorus



My mind is spoken

My mind is broken

My mind's been open for too long



Verse 1



There's a light inside still glowing in the kitchen

You walk down the stairs, turn life into fiction

That intersection could be the last turn

And the way you keep beating your heart on fast burn is



Fatal, unable to find the right label

For the sudden disappearance of familiar road maps

You got a video-phone-fax and everything you need

But can't hide the truth under a table



So you proceed to the street and find yourself alone

In the freezing cold, under your feet is

The crackling ice that makes time disappear

Let your eyelids fall, is blindness a fear?



Quiet as the sheer heavy weight that leaves a long shadow

When you're battling back to where you started

The cold hot on your heels appeals to the real sense

You got little that needs to be guarded



So keep that thought and your wheel in motion

All the mirrors are gone, you feel the motion of

The past getting closer, infinite on this tape 

Minute by minute, give it my limit and escape...
