lyrics

He couldn’t tell you
if his life were to depend on it
And it makes him kind of nervous now
that it actually might

Could it be he loves her more
then he loves to fall in love
Of this much he is certain,
he loves her more than life

But ain’t that a hollow phrase
all too easily uttered
with his guts on the floor
and his mind in the gutter

See, the Liquid Man
he can’t be bothered
with her siren song no more
It’s the very love itself that’s corrupted,
ripped and rotten
to the core

He tried hard to prove
he don’t need anyone
Till finally there was no one
around to prove it to

You’d find him goin’ round the block
as he walked his solitude
ever closely shadowed
by the fits he threw

If he’d tip his hand on
his unrighteous intentions
She would hit the roof, boys
only to come down relentlessly
on Liquid Man
He can’t be bothered
to talk about the state he’s in
See him dribble by,
watch him liquefy
There ain’t no stopping
once it begins

Dressed all fit to kill,
sharp as a razorblade
Parting the waters
by the way that he sinks

His mouth filled with sand
His heart all full of rocks
Yet hope’s slow poison,
she slipped it in his drink

And he stood there till his toes bled,
his shoes a size too small
With his skin turned inside out
and his back glued to the wall

Now Liquid Man
he can’t be bothered
with her glory anymore
It’s that same old blinding
light he’s been trying
to put it out
for once and all

It’s that same old difference
Shiny ribbons
wrapped around the same old box
It’s the same old tragic
senseless motion
moving everything that fucks
 
He’s the Liquid Man,
see his solid plans
all splash as he is
tryin’ to leave
It’s a bad, bad case
of poets fever
Obviously
Five Believers

I could make it without you, honey
if I just did not feel so all alone
