Smog - A Man Needs a Woman or a Man to Be a Man lyrics

When you leave, I go into our room And lay me down on birds of paradise It's pretty womanly in here! Roses noting every move Nothing goes on except what should A vast legacy of good And I don't know if I can uphold it on my own I don't know if I can uphold it on my own I don't know if I'm to be trusted In our room Alone A man needs a woman or a man To be a man A man needs a woman or a man To be a man The light is explicit Between nine and noon The light shows a life to things thought dead LIke oaken legs and fireworks beneath the bed Fireworks are wasted in the day I set 'em off anyway To pa** the time 'til you return I Can't see a thing 'til you return Maybe a little smoke 'til you return With fireworks More fireworks! And you tell me to wait Just wait, wait Just wait A man needs a woman or a man To be a man A man needs a woman or a man To be a man And when it's good and dark The sky a wet black Like earth has turned You say OK Now is time, OK Like earth has turned Above us explode a golden lion dripping red A blue bear spitting white A spider of fire on a web of sparks A green dragon with spiralled eyes Fireworks light the way Fireworks light the way Before us lie many a night Before us lie fireworks in boxes But only in you Deep in you Only in you Deep in you Is the fire that lights them A man needs a woman or a man To be a man A man needs a woman or a man To be a man
