Astonished Man Songtext
von Thao & the Get Down Stay Down

Decades to decide, I need decision
Decades to decide, I will never be satisfied with how I have been living
I must find and capture an astonished man
Hold him ′til he knows he is forgiven

You don't look for me, but I will look for you
Without a wish to see anybody new
You don′t look for me how I will look for you
Without a wish to see anybody new

I wake, so worried, worried
Yet I won't hurry, hurry
What is the wait?
The wait of a lonely man
I wake, so worried, worried
Yet I won't hurry, hurry
I still sleep, as only the careless can


You don′t look for me how I will look for you
Without a wish to see anybody new
You don′t look for me how I will look for you
Without a wish to see anybody new

I wake, so worried, worried
Yet I won't hurry, hurry
What is the wait?
The wait of a lonely man
I wake, so worried, worried
Yet I won′t hurry, hurry
Fast asleep, as only the careless can

How far gone, how far-flown
How far-flung could I be
When all along, all along
You have belonged to me?
How far gone, how far-flown
How far-flung could I be
When all along, all along
You have belonged to me?

Decades to decide, I need decision
I must find and capture an astonished man
Hold him 'til he knows he is forgiven
