Neil Young - Extra, Extra lyrics

[Verse 1] Selling papers on the corner I saw a man yesterday I asked him if he'd wanna Tell me what made him this way [Chorus] He said, when it's born, it's warm Then it gathers strength in lies When it falls, it falls all over you [Verse 2] He used to pick his friends They left him in the end An easy thing to lose The right to pick and choose When it's born, it's warm Then it gathers strength in lies When it falls, it falls all over you He said he left his wife The back-bone of his life Another came along But now I guess she's gone [Chorus] [Verse 3] I think I used to see That old man on TV Can you be the same? It seems like such a shame When it's born, it's warm Then it gathers strength in lies When it falls, it falls all over you The world he thought he knew Has better things to do As I went on my way I thought I heard him say [Chorus]
