John Doe - The Meanest Man In The World lyrics

<b>The Meanest Man In The World</b> by <i>John Doe</i><br />he wide wide open sky

Above the sage and the thorns

The rocks and pines were humming an old familiar tune

His hard black boots came crunching up this gravel road

He saw the house a mile away

The moon was just setting

The nights were darker then

Lights in the living room

He could recall that the tv was on

But not if anyone was watching

He never thought of himself as cruel

He never thought of himself at all

Kindness was always outside his grasp

He was the meanest man in the world

He was the meanest man in the world

The door wasn't really locked

The fire place was burning

The room exploded like a bomb

But all in slow motion

Icicles hung from the roof

He remember someone weeping

Though it was sticky on the road

He just kept on walking

He never closed a door

He never turned off a light

He left things pretty much the way they were

After he did what he did that night

He never thought of himself as cruel

He never thought of himself at all

Kindness was always outside his grasp

He was the meanest man in the world

He was the meanest man in the world

He was the meanest man in the world
