The Man Who Dies Every Day — текст песни (Ultravox)

Someone stood beside me for a moment in the rain
A silhouette, a cigarette, and a gesture of disdain
I felt a dark door open, saw a sudden ghost come through
A spark leapt from my fingertip and I knew it must be you

Ain`t you the man who dies every day?
You`re the man who dies every day
You`re the man

We never saw you walk in, we never saw you leave
You flick the ashes off a lap on everybody`s sleeve
You always play that funny pack of cards without an ace
And every street you ever walked is mapped out on your face

`Cause you`re the man who dies every day
You`re the man who dies every day
You`re the man

You always kept a sunset behind your lonely shoulder
You never showed on photographs and you never grew much older
You flicker like a shaky shadow, moving like a thief
You never drop your facade and you never seek relief

`Cause you`re the man who dies every day
You`re the man who dies every day
You`re the man who dies every day
You`re the man who dies every day
You`re the man
