Dying Man by The A Heads Lyrics

Bewildered and amazed he staggers around
The empty streets day and night
He hides away so he won't be found
In a doorway out of sight
He's a dying man, but he doesn't realize
He thinks what they say is just a pack of lies
He blames no one but himself
For the terrible state that he became
A lot of damage was done to his health
But he thought that he remained the same
He's a dying man, but he doesn't realize
He thinks what they say is just a pack of lies
He promises and promises he'll pack it in
It might last for a day or two
He tries the beer and then the gin
But he's soon back on his glue
He's a dying man, but he doesn't realize
He thinks what they say is just a pack of lies
They could have helped but it's too late
They loved him too much to try
His life now is up to fate
But they all think he will die
