Man of Want Songtext
von Giant Sand

To be lost and lonesome
To be so far from homesome
To be casting shadows
In the dead of the night

To have what you wanted
To be free, but haunted
Always running the gauntlet
In the dead of the night

In the hall of nothingness
Love stands so motionless
In the house, the house of the man
The man of want, the man of want

Never mind my name, boy
If you love to share the blame, boy
If you don′t want to go back the way you came
In the dead of the night


To get what you wanted
To be free, but haunted
Always running the gauntlet
Always running the gauntlet
In the dead of the night

In the hall of nothingness
A boy stands so motionless
In the house, the house of the man
The man of want, the man of want
Whoa!

To be lost and lonesome
To be so far from homesome
To be casting shadows
In the dead of the night, oh

To have no ride home
To feel inside so long
In the dead of the night

In the hall of nothingness
We all stand so motionless
In the house of the man
The man of want, the man of want (go, Lisa, go)


Take them down that long homesome hallway
Oh, I know
I know that the piano's coming
Get me outta here, the piano coming
Get me outta here
