Man Who Fell To Earth

Man who fell to earth (2x)


 It's another tequila sunrise

For the man with the bloodshot eyes

A consummate professional

At overing it all up with lies


Another fortnight missing

So he went to join the AA

One last stop at a bottle shop

And he died along the way


Teardrops mist the hostel hell

There'll never be a place like home

Judges took the house and kids away

For a wife with a heart of stone


Drunks and thieves are family now

White lightning a breakfast treat

Fights break out over trivia

Welcome to life on the street


Watch paralympics on the TV

Former comrades rebuild their lives

Self medicated with the curtains drawn

All his injuries are deep inside


Decorations from a pointless war

Some things no man should ever see

Done things to tear a soul apart

Bitter tears won't set you free
