lyrics

There's a big man coming down the tunnel
to bash my head in with a crowbar.
I could delay it for a second, but it's all I'm sure of.
"You've got to make it while you've got the power to,"
he's growling at me in the mirror,
"never let your fear go."

I won't leave it but it might leave
me if I found something more complete
but then I'd find a way to be
more scared than ever.

The frightened strands of thread
hanging from my sweater
are calling out:
"one day you're gonna lose your head."
They're telling me that
someone's always coming 'round the bend
to break your body by your own hand
and to prove you haven't gotten away.

I won't leave them but they might leave me
if they think that I'm too conceited
but I know they know
I'm not that way, whatever.

I'm not a big man
but maybe I am.
I am a big man but
I'm not that big, man.
