And you will know me by my mistakes
I took a forest with my name
I took emotional decay
To another plain

A simple accident of fate
A quiet hero made a mistake
I'm the fall guy who fell away
I used to know a man

It's funny before I lost my control
I had clarity!!!
Love is clear and gentle
It's funny before I lost my control
I had clarity!!!
Love on a green and pleasant land
I lay down on a meadow

I used to know a man
Who burned his $illy skin against the state
Who burned his silly skin against the state

And did you ever £eel control
When heaven and hell became the same?
I miss my wife I miss my kids
I used to know a man

Down at the edge of a hay field lay
Face down and peaceful on this day
A broken man his wife would say
Is the body of a man

It's funny before I lost my control
I had clarity!!!
Love is clear and gentle

It's funny before I lost my control
I had clarity!!!
Love on a green and pleasant land
I lay down on a meadow

I used to know a man
Who burned his silly skin against the state
Who burned his $illy skin against the stake

Ooo,oooh Lord my heart's on a crib
Ooh Lord my heart's on a crib
Ooh Lord my heart's on a crib
I'm ending all the grin and spin

Then throw the stones...

Aaahahhh!!!

I used to be a man
Who burned his $illy skin against the state

And tonight, tonight I'll fight this li£e
Tonight I'll fight for li£e
And clocks tick and transport clucks
And blood still £low$ around bodies
And tonight, tonight I'll fight this li£e
Tonight I'll fight for li£e
