Born with a Future - Man

The road isn’t wide enough for your kind of car, and you should be tired after

travellin' so far

The sky isn’t blue enough for your kind of day, the lie isn’t true enough,

you’re losing your way

The sea isn’t deep enough for your kind of ship, and you should be stronger

'cos you’re using a whip

You’re born with a future, you’ll die with a past

But your ship will never sail, and your hammer needs a nail

And your body’s getting frail, and your eyes are gonna fail

Your voice isn’t loud enough for you to be heard, 'cause everyone’s shouting

and you can’t find a word

For all the silences that last for too long, when everyone’s singing and you

don’t know the song

Your arms are not long enough to reach for the sky, the time isn’t long enough,

we’re all gonna die

You’re born with a future, you’ll die with a past

But your ship will never sail, and your hammer needs a nail

And your body’s getting frail, and your eyes are gonna fail

You offer me forbidden fruit,

And you know I can’t say no You let me walk you home if I promise to sleep on the floor

I’ve heard that before

I’ve heard that before

She’s a lion and I’m a lamb,

And she knows there’s no way I can go She lets me watch her sleeping, making sure she never closes the door

I’ve been here before,

There’s always one more waiting, waiting

You’re born with a future, you’ll die with a past

You’re born with a future, you’ll die with a past

But your ship will never sail, and your hammer needs a nail

And your body’s getting frail, and your eyes are gonna fail
