bill callahan - a man needs a woman or a man to be a man lyrics
when you leave, i go into our room
and lay me down on birds of paradise
it’s pretty womanly in here!
roses noting every move
nothing goes on except what should
a vast legacy of good
and i don’t know if i can uphold it on my own
i don’t know if i can uphold it on my own
i don’t know if i’m to be trusted
in our room
alone
a man needs a woman or a man
to be a man
a man needs a woman or a man
to be a man
the light is explicit
between nine and noon
the light shows a life to things thought dead
like oaken legs and fireworks beneath the bed
fireworks are wasted in the day
i set ’em off anyway
to p-ss the time ’til you return
i can’t see a thing ’til you return
maybe a little smoke ’til you return
with fireworks
more fireworks!
with fireworks
more fireworks!
and you tell me to wait
just wait, wait
just wait
a man needs a woman or a man
to be a man
a man needs a woman or a man
to be a man
and when it’s good and dark
the sky a wet black
like earth has turned
you say ok
now is time, ok
like earth has turned
above us explode a golden lion dripping red
a blue bear spitting white
a spider of fire on a web of sparks
a green dragon with spiralled eyes
fireworks light the way
fireworks light the way
fireworks light the way
fireworks light the way
before us lie many a night
before us lie fireworks in boxes
but only in you
deep in you
only in you
deep in you
is the fire that lights them
a man needs a woman or a man
to be a man
a man needs a woman or a man
to be a man
