《I’m Not The Man》歌词

[00:00:00] I'm Not The Man - 10,000 Maniacs

[00:00:11] It crawls on his back, won't ever let him be.

[00:00:17] Stares at the walls until

[00:00:19] The cinder blocks can breathe.

[00:00:23] His eyes have gone away, escaping over time.

[00:00:29] He rules a crowded nation inside his mind.

[00:00:42] He knows that night like his hand.

[00:00:45] He knows every move he made.

[00:00:49] Late shift, the bell that rang,

[00:00:51] A time card won't fade.

[00:00:55] 10:05 his truck pulled home.

[00:00:57] 10:05 he climbed his stair,

[00:01:00] About the time he was accused of being there.

[00:01:09] But I'm not the man.

[00:01:12] He goes free as I wait on the row for the man

[00:01:21] To test the rope he'll slip around my throat...

[00:01:26] And silence me.

[00:01:32] On the day he was tried no witnesses testified.

[00:01:39] Nothing but evidence, not hard to falsify.

[00:01:45] His own confession was a prosecutor's prize,

[00:01:50] Made up of fear, of rage and of outright lies.

[00:01:59] But I'm not the man.

[00:02:02] He goes free as the candle vigil glows,

[00:02:09] As they burn my clothes.

[00:02:20] As the crowd cries, "Hang him slow!"

[00:02:25] And I feel my blood go cold, he goes free.

[00:02:44] Call out the KKK, they're wild after me.

[00:02:49] And with that frenzied look of half-demented zeal,

[00:02:55] They'd love to serve me up my final meal.

[00:03:07] Who'll read my final rite and

[00:03:13] Hear my last appeal?

[00:03:19] Who struck this devil's deal?
