Girlyman - Michelangelo lyrics

rate me

Down at the bar, you sit far from everyone

Writing poems on your jeans

On the inside seams

Dropping cherries like bombs into your beer

Nowhere left to be but here

You never could see it clearly

So what do you want?

Do you want to let the world destroy you?

Or write down the names of every person who ignored you?

Your mom and your dad never knew what they had

So how could you know you were Michelangelo?

Up all night, the morning light, surprising through the door

You're still lying on the floor

Writing words into the boards

She changed, she got sick after the war

And she never did come back

So many ways the odds are stacked against you

chorus

Money here, money there, some people know your name

Just a little taste of fame

Like hair caught in the drain

You're a genius now, you're insane

You may be different or the same

But there something in your heart

Feels like love, feels like pain

chorus
