A Man Inside My Mouth (2006 Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: The Head On The Door - 1985)

Startle myself awake, even has a soft key
You know I know, will a stranger too?
See the man as I sing and it's dark
He's got two boys slinking there
What of ourselves? Nobody was an angel
Wrapped in his thread so damp and sore
Single file, I wait in line
To race like the night before

There were two of them sitting on the ground
Slinking his head from side to side
Singing, "I promise you it's real"
Oh, there holding onto my arm
Onto my, hold me up, pull me down
And I couldn't decide, then run it around
Howl like a baby screams
And see the man that's inside me

Will you know the sayings?
Sinking on this edge
Do you mutter again?
Always ends up as ash
Being inside this night
To a girl before
Early boy races to praise
In the skies, he's laying down for sure

What was real? Come side to side
What was real? Come side to side
What was real? Come side to side
What was real? Come side to side
Inside
