Man of Stone — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)





It could have been a million years ago or maybe yesterday

I crawled out of this wilderness, a debt I had to pay

I must have tipped the scales somewhere way back

Never saw the seeds Id sewn

So now I travel backwards looking for a man of stone



A foggy night, a neon light... Ive seen him standing there

Movin where the shadows creepccno he never did play fair

And one night I almost got him, but I knew youd tapped my phone

And communication is dangerous, lookin for a man of stone





With juan in argentina I thought I saw him in the street

In a seaplane over hydra he sat in the captains seat

And Ive chased him from the colosseum down the spanish steps in rome

And history just gets hazy lookin for a man of stone





In the mornin out your I saw him leanin on a tree

Wearin a snappy suit of grey and then he motioned to me

He pointed with his finger, as if to say my soul he owned

But I had sold that long ago to you lookin for a man of stone





Now I sit in this burnt out barn they call the ravens nest

Drinkin bloody monkeys, your name tattooed on my chest

Sometimes I think of juan or youccor sometimes I think of hime

And sometimes I dont think of anything but lookin for (thats right) a man of stone
