I could be that guy....
The guy who's homeless and lives under a highway bridge
Or maybe the guy
who lives a step above
and lives out of his
battered truck Or
maybe living large and
has a membership at
Gold's Gym just to
enjoy the shower
privileges
Yea, I could be that guy
I could be that guy...
The guy who howls at the moon, who tilts at windmills
Or battles the demons inside his head
The one who refuses help...as if help were available
Yea, I could be that guy
I could be that guy...
Who walks from one lost highway to the next
From one Twilight Zone episode to the next
From one never-ending sorrow to the next
Yea, I could be that guy
I could be that guy...
Who pisses it all away in the blink of an eye
Who understands
that "from dust
you were made and dust
you shall return Who
understands that with
the passage of time I
can see all your wounds
and all your scars
Yea, I could be that guy
I could be that guy...
Who stares at
Madame Sosostris and
her wicked deck of
cards as if I were
staring at the
apocalypse
Who jumps off the bridge over Troubled Water
Who imbibed a big
gulp of that salty
ocean water, who sleeps
with the fishes
Yea, I could be that guy
I could be that guy...
I'm so close...and you are too
