the man himself - Gang of Youths

The days

The weeks

And the years

Rolled on by

All the unending pavement

And beauty in the architecture

There was angels in the ornaments

In underneath you

And they’re humming away

Hummin' away

'Til I get what I need

Hey now

I dunno what to feel

I dunno how to feel right

But I want to become my own man, I guess

Hey now

I dunno if I’ll ever feel right

And let everything change

To things that can make a man grow tall

There’s a painting of you

And it hangs in our kitchen now

So when my kid’s getting high

In a hot wired symphony

And I’m looking for sage advice

You’ll be humming away

Humming away

Like everything’s fine

Hey now

I dunno what to feel

I dunno how to feel right

But I want to become my own man, I guess

Hey now

I dunno if I’ll ever feel right

And let everything change

To things that can make a man grow tall

Just take a simple step at a simple pace

And maybe the outward momentum

Maybe un-fuck you in time

So comb your hair

And clean your teeth

And dial back home

At least once or twice every week

And make sure that you see them more

Than I do with mine

But if they’re out of the way

Out of the way

Then everything’s fine

Hey now

I dunno what to feel

I dunno how to feel right

But I want to become my own man, I guess

Hey now

I dunno if I’ll ever feel right

And let everything change

To things that can make a man grow tall

Out of the way

Out of the way

And everything

Hummin' away

Hummin' away at everything
