Girlyman - Michelangelo lyrics

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
