New Man

I am testing my hand
I am drowning the promised land
I was not born of this plan
I was not born of this chant
I am a second chance
You can call me a new man
a new man
I am a new man
I am a new man
I am a new man

I was sitting on a bench waiting for you
been 42 hours I was circled
and I knew you were doing your best
to try to rescue me
so I just spent my time wrapped up
in a cathedral or three
singing quietly, lord take me up,
up and away
do you got a heated holy water jacuzzi?
cause I think this city's pretty neat
but I could use some walking down some warmer streets
oh I wish someone would come and rescue me.
there was a little man,
picking up trash from the ancient aisles
he had a clipboard in his hand
he asked me if i was gonna stay a while, stay a while
so I said lord, i would stay
if I didn't have to go
but my skin ain't thick to sit,
keep sitting in this window
but I only got a couple bills for coffee
and I'm still running out of steam
no this ain't no christmas ice queen
this ain't no dream
i say lord if you could please take me away
do you got a heated holy water jacuzzi?
no i just can't get outta this here heap
but I could really use a little company
I could really use a little company

(the 'fuck' is silent)
I hope you’re thinking of me
warm and fondly
I hope you’re thinking of me
when you — when you —
I hope you’re thinking of me
warm and fondly
I hope you’re thinking of me
when you — when you —
I will erase your perfect face
I’m conditional
and I don’t know whose
arms are around you now
but I wish that they would stay
like I would
like I would
I hope you’re thinking of me
warm and fondly
I hope you’re thinking of me
when you — when you —
when you — when you —
when you —
I hope you don’t need
no excuse, no excuse
I hope you’re thinking of me
warm and fondly
I hope you’re thinking of me
when you — when you —
no no no don’t need an excuse
no you don’t need no excuse
when you —
don’t know whose arms are
around you now but I wish
that they would stay
like i would
like i would
like i would

I would have gone with you to pick up the trash
I would gone with you to to take out the trash
woulda gone with you to take out the trash
I would have gone with you to take out the trash
I would have gone with you
I would have gone
I would have cleaned up all the parks
I would have fed all the homebums
I would have taken out the trash
I would have fended off the cops
I would have done a lotta things
but you guessed not
I would have done a lotta things
but you guessed not
I would have done a lotta things
I would have fed, I woulda cooked for all the whores
I would have run around in the grass
with the boys and girls
I would have done nothing at all
if that’s how it called me to show up
that time
And that’s why you thought not
and I stayed behind
but then you found someone
you thought that you could
dig beside
you thought not
so I stayed behind oh
but you found someone
that you thought
you could work beside
I would have raised your little girl
woulda nursed her if I could try
she’d never go hungry
no not on my watch
and she’d never lack to be outside
lack to be outside
to be outside
little girls need sunshine
need a mama’s touch
need a daddy’s side (4x)
so here I sit where we used to look out
here I sit just punching the pedal
here I sit where we used to look out
i’m just pumping the pedal
hoping for something good to fall out
I wouldn’t have made you settle down
I woulda kept it real, kept it on the road
I would have been there
I would have seen her
I would have been on your side
I would have figured it out, some way
And when you’re out there
on the street, somewhere
hope you think of me
but I know you’re dreaming of
a little-er girl
I hope you’ll think of me
when you’re dreaming of her
I know one day you’ll be beside her
but still hope you’ll think of me
when you’re dreaming next to her.

what i really wanna say is
honey we’re gonna be famous
honey we’re gonna be famous
I’m tired
of picking up the fight
of picking out a mile penance
and I want a big bowl
of avocados
that’s how we know we’ve made it
we’ve made it
cause what i really
what I really wanna say is
honey, honey we’re gonna be famous
I admire you
so much, might like to be you
just kidding you’re the only person
that I know that’s as fucked up
in the same way as me
I might like a different flavor
of fucked-up-ery
