The Man In The Riverbed by The Henry Clay People Lyrics
He fell asleep inside the riverbed sometime round 6am
He walks at night
All of the time
He shot the man, he shot the man with the baby teeth
'Cause he was staring at your feet
And someone's staring while you sleep
He bombed his way around your mountain town until the sun went down
And he walks at night
All of the time
But for sixty cents he'll clean your car and feet your kids
Or wake them
He fell asleep, he fell asleep inside the riverbed
And he walks at night all of the time
And he will protect, and he will protect, you will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever notice it
And some gods must bless the man without the sense to wake up and
Others must blame a mannequin with proper names
He'd palm his things
But something hurt
The light had burned off fat and dirt
And he woke up
Oh, our hero's cursed
The knives at night
Our hero's cursed, our hero's cursed
He walks at night
All of the time
He shot the man, he shot the man with the baby teeth
'Cause he was staring at your feet
And someone's staring while you sleep
He bombed his way around your mountain town until the sun went down
And he walks at night
All of the time
But for sixty cents he'll clean your car and feet your kids
Or wake them
He fell asleep, he fell asleep inside the riverbed
And he walks at night all of the time
And he will protect, and he will protect, you will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever notice it
And some gods must bless the man without the sense to wake up and
Others must blame a mannequin with proper names
He'd palm his things
But something hurt
The light had burned off fat and dirt
And he woke up
Oh, our hero's cursed
The knives at night
Our hero's cursed, our hero's cursed
