Man Of Stone, lyric by Stan Ridgway

from the songs album Black Diamond


It could have been a million years ago or maybe yesterday
I crawled out of this wilderness, a debt i had to pay
I must have tipped the scales somewhere way back
Never saw the seeds i'd sewn
So now i travel backwards looking for a man of stone

A foggy night, a neon light... i've seen him standing there
Movin' where the shadows creep?c?cno he never did play fair
And one night i almost got him, but i knew you'd tapped my phone
And communication is dangerous, lookin' for a man of stone


With juan in argentina i thought i saw him in the street
In a seaplane over hydra he sat in the captain's seat
And i've chased him from the colosseum down the spanish steps in rome
And history just gets hazy lookin' for a man of stone


In the mornin' out your i saw him leanin' on a tree
Wearin' a snappy suit of grey and then he motioned to me
He pointed with his finger, as if to say my soul he owned
But i had sold that long ago to you lookin' for a man of stone


Now i sit in this burnt out barn they call the raven's nest
Drinkin' bloody monkeys, your name tattooed on my chest
Sometimes i think of juan or you?c?cor sometimes i think of hime
And sometimes i don't think of anything but lookin' for (that's right) a man of stone
