Van der Graaf Generator — Man-Erg

[Verse 1] The killer lives inside me: yes, I can feel him move Sometimes he's lightly sleeping In the quiet of his room [Chorus 1] But then his eyes will rise and stare through mine; He'll speak my words and slice my mind inside Yes, the killer lives [Verse 2] Angels live inside me: I can feel them smile... Their presence strokes And soothes the tempest in my mind [Chorus 2] And their love can heal the wounds that I have wrought They watch me as I go to fall - Well, I know I shall be caught while the angels live [Instrumental] [Break] [Verse 3] How can I be free? How can I get help? Am I really me? Am I someone else? [Instrumental] [Verse 4] But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytes of gloom And Death's Head throws his cloak into the corner of my room And I am doomed... [Verse 5] But laughing in my courtyard play the pranksters of my youth And solemn, waiting Old Man in the gables of the roof: He tells me truth... [Instrumental] [Verse 6] And I too, live inside me Andd very often don't know who I am I know I'm not a hero But I hope that I'm not damned: [Chorus 4] I'm just a man, and killers, angels All are me: Dictators, saviours, refugees in war and peace As long as Man lives... [Outro Chorus 4] I'm just a man, and killers, angels All are me: Dictators, saviours, refugees...
