The Man Who Dies Every Day Ultravox

[Verse 1]
Someone stood beside me for a moment in the rain
A silhouette, a cigarette, and a gesture of disdain
I felt a dark door open, saw a sudden ghost come through
A spark leapt from my fingertip and I knew it must be you

[Chorus]
Ain't you the man who dies every day?
You're the man who dies every day
You're the man

[Verse 2]
We never saw you walk in, we never saw you leave
You flick the ashes off a lap on everybody's sleeve
You always play that funny pack of cards without an ace
And every street you ever walked is mapped out on your face

[Chorus]
'Cause you're the man who dies every day
You're the man who dies every day
You're the man

[Verse 3]
You always kept a sunset behind your lonely shoulder
You never showed on photographs and you never grew much older
You flicker like a shaky shadow, moving like a thief
You never drop your façade and you never seek relief
