So There's This Man

There's a man who took life and made it his own
taught himself how to pull the reins
and blodied his fingers in the process

There's a man who dyed his hair, and put on women's clothing
"Oh shit, I thought you were a chick!"
He'll smile from the amusement and maybe shake his hips

There's a man who once faked his own death
said it was for the purpose of total creativity
and for a year, he sat with nothing but his dangerous mind

There's a man that no one knows about
let's just leave it at that
he prefers use of the adjective: elusive

There's a man who lives near the city, in a region unknown
says there's no place better than the heart of Chicago
where the tall buildings make you feel oh, so small

There's a man who runs entirely on plants
and eats fire like a devil
I bet he bares a healthy mind, body and soul

There's a man who shares his home with four-legged, fuzzy friends
he welcomes their cold noses and slobbery kisses
showers them with love unconditional

There's a man who respects the rights of other living creatures
offers freedom to those who've once been subjected to cruelty
to feed the hungry tummies of the greedy

There's a man who once traveled the world
doing what he loves up on that platform
exposing his sounds to millions of adoring faces, craving more

There's a man who's addicted to noise
and I'm sure his ears are ringing
he writes his songs about life and death

There's a man who's lost somebody he loves
wears her name upon his body, but not so he won't forget
because I'm sure he remembers her daily

There's a man who raises his middle finger to the world
and people say he's crazy
but he does what he does for himself and no one else

There's a man who probably wants to be a jedi
or maybe just a masked killer wielding a chainsaw
who knows, maybe his life feels like a movie

There's a man who's a rock star
well, it depends on your definition of the term
because maybe he's just a daredevil who "wanted to be Evel Kenievel"

There's a man who stands up for what's right
and he should probably run for president
but hey, who would vote for a man in eyeliner, anyway?

There's a man who's an introvert
a soft-spoken individual with warm eyes
but he would probably kick your ass, if he had to

There's a man who has big strong hands
"are you implying something sexual, there?"
no, but they stroke the neck of a guitar quite nicely, if you ask me

There's a man who wants to do everything
and who are we to judge?
he won't apologize for who he is or what he does

There's a man who was born on the twenty-fifth of June
when the air was warm with summer's rays
always helping grow the flower that he truly is
