My Man — текст песни (they might be giants)

My man

Muscles from hand to foot

Completely covered in uninteruppted skin

My man

Signals command the leg

To follow orders coming down from headquarters

Why then am I in bed?

I guess my mans fallen out with my head



May I direct your attention to the following simile

Youre like the coasts of an ocean

Buried beneath is a submarine cable

Connecting the opposite shores that surround it



My man

How can he stand?

Your fingers could encircle clear around the ankle

My man wont walk again

In conflict with express instructions given by the brain

Why cant the message be sent?

I guess my mans fallen out with my head



When something happens to drag on the floor of the ocean

For instance an anchor or mooring

The cable can be disrupted and even be severed

Which halts the transmission across it



There is no way to repair the break



My man

Muscles from hand to foot

Completely covered in uninteruppted skin

My man

Signals command the leg

To follow orders coming down from headquarters

My man

How can he stand?

My man

Muscles from hand to foot

Completely covered in uninteruppted skin

My man

Wont walk again
