The Measure Songtext
von Skyclad

What you going to do when your problems mount so high?
Parking your bags in the hallway, ready to fly?
What you going to do, now your sugar fountain′s run dry?
Wringing your hands and trying to work out why?
Never ever, ever, even know yourself, this could be true
But you're tired of chasing rainbows, lost to heaven – who knows?
Look for your saving grace

The measure, slowly coming ′round now
The measure, they'll catch you if they can
The measure, shows you what you're worth now
The measure, the measure of a man


What your going to do when you′re tired of bruising your pride?
Spin a coin, choose a black or white side
What you going to do when they take you on that long ride?
Change your name, to save your worthless hide?
Never ever, ever, even know yourself, well this could be true
You′re tired of ringing numbers, all out of your tiny mind
Fall onto your knees

The measure, slowly coming 'round now
The measure, they′ll catch you if they can
The measure, shows you what you're worth now
The measure, the measure of a man

Am I a lost cause?
Am I so see through?
All for the man who lives his attitudes

The measure, slowly coming down now
The measure, they′ll catch you if they can
The measure, shows you what you're worth now
The measure, the measure of a man

The measure, slowly coming ′round now
The measure, they'll catch you if they can
The measure, shows you what you're worth now
The measure, the measure of a man
