A Man Called (e)

Never much of a hope for men
Nothing good to say
But i couldn't help it
When i saw her
I had to know if

She don't know where to go
She don't know how to stay
And she don't know how good i can be
Or how much i can pray
I pray

And soon i know her a little more
She's everything i dreamed
But still i wonder what it would be like
If she left me

She don't know where to go
She don't know how to stay
But she don't know how good i can be
Or how much i still pray
I pray

There must be something that's folowing her
That keeps her from this state
There must be something that makes me want to
Pray
Pray
I pray

She says she's all right but she's not sure
And i'm not sure what that means
She says she's all right but she needs some help
I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how

I wanna see paris
Insane on the sine
I wanna do that bull run thin in spain
I wanna go to england
And walk down penny lane
Half a pint an island
May wash away my pain

I'm stuck in mud
Spinning my wheels
And i'm all alone
On the road
To nowheresville

I wanna meet a little girl
With french horn lips
And introduce her to my trip
I'll make her smile on the nile
Hold her hand in japan
But last things first for all my plans

I'm stuck in mud
Spinning my wheels
And i'm all alone
On the road
To nowheresville

I'm on my way
I'm almost nowhere
I'm almost everything i swore i'd never be
When i get there
Then i'll go somehwere
I'm going to pay my last repsects and get the
Hell out of there
Out of nowhere

I'm stuck in mud
Spinning my wheels
And i'm all alone
On the road
To nowheresville
Spinning my wheels
And i'm all alone on the road to nowheresville
Nowheresville
Nowheresville

She's never known acceptance
She's never known the world
She says i like to call myself m
But my real name is mockingbird

Mockingbird franklin
So how do you do
Mockingbird franklin
I'm a lot like you

She says her mother is gone now
She says her mother got killed
I said i'm sorry but is it true
Did she really name you mockingbird

Mockingbird franklin
Broke your heart in two
Mockingbird franklin
I'm a lot like you

Mockingbird don't you change
Just because you're not like them
Oh mockingbird you're not the same

Alone along the sidewalk
Her steps are barely heard
It's kinda funny that it's her name
'cus she's nothing like a mockingbird
Nothing like a mockingbird

Mockingbird franklin
Don't it get to you
Mockingbird franklin
I'm a lot like you
I'm a lot like you
It's true

Hello cruel world so this is you
A broken heart a withered view
I'm looking out to face another day

The angry mob, the happy mass
This birthday cake may be the last
I'm looking out to find another way

Norman rockwell colors fade
All my favorite things have changed
What the hell,
Hello cruel world

I thought i heard an opera star
Who had no home under the stars
She sang and sang and sang the night away

And mother nature changed her name
She doesn't want to play the game
I don't believe she'll ever be the same

So big brother never came
Howdy-doodie gets the blame
But what the hell
Hello cruel world

Fat and beautiful and strange
Monkeys dancing in a cage
But what the hell
Hello cruel world

Venus de milo grew an arm
And old mcdonald bought the farm
Say goodbye
Hello cruel world

Norman rockwell colors fade
All my favorite things have changed
But what the hell, hello cruel world

Fat and beautiful and strange
Monkeys dancing in a cage
But what the hell
Hello cruel world

Say goodbye, hello cruel world

But what the hell
Hello cruel world
Hello hello
Ooooh ooooh
Hello cruel world

Oh she comes on like a fog
And then she goes out like a neurotic dog
So now i'm sitting her thinking all day long
Looking out the window with a blue hat on

Find me an open grave
Just push me in
Then let me up to live again

So she bought a little book
And filled it up with names she never shook
So i'm just one of them thinking all day long
Looking out the window with a blue hat on

Find me a sky high cliff
Just let me try
To jump right off maybe i'll fly

Looking out the window with the blue hat on

Find me an open grave
Just push me in
Then let me up to live again

Oh she comes on like a fog

Are you and me gonna happen
Are you and me gonna happen soon

The gods smiled hard down upon
The love that's shared
Heaven's awaiting those who dare

Are you and me gonna happen
Are you and me gonna happen soon

A sweeter feeling i can't guess will ever be
A truer union i can't see

I don't know how much more i can take
I will run through th streets
I'll howl at the moon
If you and me can not be happening soon

Are you and me gonna happen soon
Are you and me gonna happen soon
