Bad Hair Day

from Good Man Down by GiT

/

lyrics

He howled at the moon
repeated his name in a whisper
To a stranger on the road
The men went blind and emptied their pockets
And he sat watching a girl
With a look that said how are you today
He fell down and disappeared for a while
But he picked myself up
And he carried on walking
He made a nest out of sticks and stones
And the things you left behind
He crept around like a crab
crawled on all fours
Like a dying soldier
He spoke to a baby
kissed a plastic Jesus
and he cried like an old man
And the old man said
The heart is a lonely hunter
And in the end we kill the things we love
And he said I’ve never tried stopping myself
Because I don’t know how
I like to write big, he said
I like to write big
and he followed you here and he won’t take no for an answer
he’s in the street staring up at you
he’s looking at you in the mirror as you’re brushing your hair
And It’s like he’s known you all his life
And he’s getting closer
He’s getting closer
And he’s watching the tears as they run down your face
And he won’t let you go
He won’t let you go
He won’t let you go!
Now he’s opening the door
And he’s walking up the stairs
He’s got your name on his lips
And he’s thinking of the first time as he enters the room
And she pretends not to notice as you approach her from behind
and grab the hand that’s holding the brush
you’re searching for the right words but they just won’t come
And she’s watching the tears as they run down your face
And he’s never going to let you go
