headed for the sun

turn to everyone

V. The Man In The Mountain
|
i am the man in the mountain
|
i stand alone — i’ve been downed
|
in a sea of loveless illusion
|
so many lost — so many drowned
|
got no church — got no steeple
|
got no time for you people
|
i live the life of a shadow
|
the only chance that i have now
|
is there…
|
in the light
|
they wore all kinds of things on their heads to disguise
|
that they’d rather be unfettered than be wealthy and wise
|
and they listened as their enemies made a similar sound and
|
they watched a million cars go by they were gaining some ground
|
but they didn’t know what to do with this thing they had found
|
so they had a party?!
