Marillion - A Man Of A Thousand Faces lyrics

(music: marillion lyrics: john helmer) I'm the man of a thousand faces A little piece of me in every part i take I hold the tape for a thousand races A different point of view in every speech i make Cut me a piece of my divided soul Cry me a river, call it rock and roll Speak to a leader with the voice of command And when i talk to god i know he'll understand I speak to machines with the voice of humanity I'll speak to the wise with the voice of insanity I'm the man of a thousand faces A little piece of me in every part i take I hold the tape for a thousand races A different point of view in every speech i make Cut me a piece of my divided soul Cry me a river, call it rock and roll Give me an attitude and watch me make it lie Pa** me a microphone I need to testify Well i speak to machines with the voice of humanity Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity Speak to the present in the past and future tense Speak to a slave with the voice of obedience I'm the man of a thousand ages You see my face in the stones of the parthenon You hear my song in the babble of babylon I'm the man of a thousand riches Be my guest at the feast of satyricon You spend the money that my logo's printed on Well i'll speak to machines with the voice of humanity Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity Speak to the present in the past and future tense Speak to a slave with the voice of obedience I stole a fire but it burned up much too soon I took a leap and i landed on the moon Look at my life and it looks like cnn You see something once y'know it's gonna come around again Well i'll speak to machines with the voice of humanity Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity Speak to a woman with the fatal charm of a snake Forgive like a giver and account for all i take Yes, i speak to machines with the voice of humanity Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity Speak like a leader with the voice of power and command And when i talk to god i know he'll understand Cause i'm the man of a thousand faces Yes i'm the man of a thousand faces I stole a fire but it burned up too much too soon I took a leap and i landed on the moon.. Voice of command Voice of a snake Voice of humanity Voice of insanity Voice of command Voice of a snake Voice of humanity Voice of insanity Voice of command Voice of obedience Thousand faces Thousand races Cry me a river Face in the stars Stones in the parthenon Babble of babylon Voice of command Voice of a snake Voice of humanity Voice of insanity Thousand faces Thousand races Cry me a river Steal a fire Face in the stars Stones in the parthenon Babble of babylon Landed on the moon * italic lyrics are from the extended version
