Everything inside was modern and sleek The office worker got mad when he dared to peek The only establishment for him is dim and underlit The ice out there has him feeling frostbit She’s sitting at the controls of the cockpit No amount of money’d ever make her quit
What has the man standing out there seen He’s out there everyday doing nothing mean He’s probably seen us at our worst While he’s acting at his absolute best

What has the man standing out there seen He’s out there everyday doing nothing mean He’s probably seen us at our worst While he’s acting at his absolute best
He wanted to take control of a motorbike I take it off the ramp all suicidal like It was the picture of what he thought was a man In olden times they’d put his head on a spike But these days he rides a scooter childlike To make it day by day he’s doing what he can Which at the moment is just trying to keep up his lifespan Everyone around him just does a quick driveby
What has the man standing out there seen He’s out there everyday doing nothing mean He’s probably seen us at our worst While he’s acting at his absolute best

What has the man standing out there seen He’s out there everyday doing nothing mean He’s probably seen us at our worst While he’s acting at his absolute best
