Leave That Man Lyrics

Philosopher Kings Leave That Man

In my dream you were stronger than ever
built ten feet tall
and tougher than a Stacey's leather
and in this dream you were stronger
than real life
and in this dream you turned him
down
when the wheel cogs choked to kick
up blood -
and spit out everything you ever
wanted,
baby leave that man
turn him down
leave that man
but some cold nights
are colder than others
and you can lose your small body
in the hot skin of another
this lifeboats leaving soon, girl,
when I say I' gone, I'm gone and I
mean forever
and when the spirit of temptation
comes to take you, girl,
I know it's never easy,
baby leave that man
turn him down
leave that man
you are everything to me, girl
you are all god's charity
you are everything good in my life
and if I should lose my balance
you keep me down with gravity
now everything's upside down
this lifeboats leaving soon, girl,
when I say I'm gone I mean forever
all things I did, and all the things we
did together
baby leave that man...
