Somebody's Man

I can't stand this place
Got off the bus with a second-hand suitcase
I had it made, now strangers just whisper and stare
As your letter crumbles in my hand
I wish I was somebody's man

It's all a hoax
You ran away when I needed you the most
I blinked my eyes for a second, and let go of the plan
But a second´s too long for you
To believe I forgot I was somebody's man

Things look ok from time to time
Then walking in like it owns the place
Comes despair, slapping home in the face
If the sky would just shut off its lights
I could sleep, I could sleep
All day and night

I can't stand this place
Got off the bus with a second-hand suitcase
I had it made, now strangers just whisper and stare
As you wait for the narrow door with the damned
For the chance to be somebody´s man
