Heard every word that was said that night
When the light of the world put the world to right
Here s to the boys back in 628
Where an ear to the wall was a twist of fate
I will shine a blinding light
Through those hearts as black as night
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But at least the seeds of love will be sown
Once in awhile when I feel no shame
I get down on my knees and I pray for rain
The breeze blows gently while I state my case
There ll be certain men waiting just to scratch my face
Hand on my heart I will make a stand
For the life and the times of the mirror man
In my head, there is a mirror
When I ve been bad, I ve been wrong
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
Hope for a bad man
This is the badman s song
Guilt in the frame of the looking-glass
Puts a shine on the mind where reflections pass
Where the jigsaw pieces of a broken man
Try and fit themselves together again
Lies in disguise in the name of trust
Put your head in the sand it will turn to dust
What s your problem ? What s your curse ?
Won t it make the matter worse ?
In my head, there is a mirror
When I ve been bad, I ve been wrong
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
Hope for a bad man
This is the bad man s song
They say faith can move move mountains
Fire can cleanse your soul
Faith can move mountains
But mind over matter won t you stop all your chatter
(Piano solo)
Sweet talking boys who can do no wrong
When the stories are tall as the day is long
With such a thin drawn between friend and foe
Lord help me now and bless my soul
Look at yourself - See how you lie
Your hands start shaking and you don t know why
Look at yourself - See how you lie
Your hands start shaking and you don t know why
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
Hope for a bad man
This is the badman s song
