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
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
