Van Der Graaf Generator - Man-erg - 2005 digital remaster lyrics

The k**er lives inside me: yes, I can feel him move Sometimes he's lightly sleeping In the quiet of his room But then his eyes will rise and stare through mine; He'll speak my words and slice my mind inside Yes the k**er lives Angels live inside me: I can feel them smile Their presence strokes And soothes the tempest in my mind And their love can heal the wounds That I have wrought They watch me as I go to fall Well, I know I shall be caught While the angels live How can I be free? How can I get help? Am I really me? Am I someone else? But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytes Of gloom And d**h's Head throws his cloak into The corner of my room And I am doomed But laughing in my courtyard play the pranksters Of my youth And solemn, waiting Old Man In the gables of the roof: He tells me truth And I too, live inside me and very often Don't know who I am: I know I'm not a hero, but I hope that I'll not die I'm just a man, and k**ers, angels Are all me: Dictator, savior, refugee in war and peace As long as Man lives I'm just a man, and k**ers, angels Are all me: Dictator, savior, refugee
