[Verse 1]
The man who twirled with rose in teeth
Has his tongue tied up in thorns
His once expanded sense of time and
Space all shot and torn
See him wander hat in hand
"Look at me, I'm so forlorn
Ask anyone who can recall
It's horrible to be born!"
[Verse 2]
Big circumstance comes looming
Like a darkly roaring train
Rushes like a sucking wound
Across a winter plain
Recognizing neither polished shine
Nor spot nor stain
And wherever you are on the compass rose
You'll never be again
[Chorus]
Left like a shadow on the step
Where the body was before
Shipwrecked at the stable door
Left like a shadow on the step
Where the body was before
Shipwrecked at the stable door
The man who twirled with rose in teeth
Has his tongue tied up in thorns
His once expanded sense of time and
Space all shot and torn
See him wander hat in hand
"Look at me, I'm so forlorn
Ask anyone who can recall
It's horrible to be born!"
[Verse 2]
Big circumstance comes looming
Like a darkly roaring train
Rushes like a sucking wound
Across a winter plain
Recognizing neither polished shine
Nor spot nor stain
And wherever you are on the compass rose
You'll never be again
[Chorus]
Left like a shadow on the step
Where the body was before
Shipwrecked at the stable door
Left like a shadow on the step
Where the body was before
Shipwrecked at the stable door
