The Nearly Man

Down here at the bottom

When you're staring at the top

There's a head full of ideas

But I'm only flesh and bloodOn an aiderdown of glory

And a pillow of desire

I'm drifting on an ocean

As the waves wash through my mindSomething haunts us, kicks the stars from our skies

Blows the lights out with a whisper and sighs

If you're down down I'm down down

Well I was nearly me and you were nearly youThe nearly man was nothing, he was never any use

Beaten down by generations, of generations beaten down

There's nothing I can promise that my conscience will allow
