He was a man from Montreal
Arrived Chicago when he was nine years old
He was scared aware of death
Knew the rest from his first breath
He knew the position, the human condition
True sense of wonder was part of his vision
America likes the way it breaks its tender spirits down
He shared a room in Minnesota with a writer
He was a sensitive man
He could read all the pain that a woman could take
When he looked in her eyes
It was ironic, the man was abrupt then
He jumped from a window and no one could stop him
America likes the way it breaks its tender spirits down
Movies in my mind
Leave the past behind
Open up my voice
I speak up for me
And I say, I say, I say, I say, I say, I say
He says there's a great presiding power running through me
It's a spiritual thing
Makes my soul want to die without fear
Now I'm here not to look back or blame
It's just not possible
Shifted, you're responsible
Your life's a one-off, it's not machine washable
America likes the way it breaks its tender spirits down
Movies in my mind
Leave the past behind
Open up my voice
I speak up for me
I say, I say, I say, I say, I say, I say
Movies in my mind
Leave the past behind
Open up my voice
I speak up for me
I say, I say, I say, I say, I say, I say
