A Man Needs A Woman Or A Man To Be A Man

When you leave, I go into our room
 And lay me down on birds of paradise
 It's pretty womanly in here!
 Roses noting every move
 Nothing goes on except what should
 A vast legacy of good
 And I don't know if I can uphold it on my own
 I don't know if I can uphold it on my own
 I don't know if I'm to be trusted
 In our room
 Alone
 A man needs a woman or a man
 To be a man
 A man needs a woman or a man
 To be a man
 The light is explicit
 Between nine and noon
 The light shows a life to things thought dead
 Like oaken legs and fireworks beneath the bed
 Fireworks are wasted in the day
 I set 'em off anyway
 To pass the time 'til you return
 I Can't see a thing 'til you return
 Maybe a little smoke 'til you return
 With fireworks
 More fireworks!
 With fireworks
 More fireworks!
 And you tell me to wait
 Just wait, wait
 Just wait
 A man needs a woman or a man
 To be a man
 A man needs a woman or a man
 To be a man
 And when it's good and dark
 The sky a wet black
 Like earth has turned
 You say OK
 Now is time, OK
 Like earth has turned
 Above us explode a golden lion dripping red
 A blue bear spitting white
 A spider of fire on a web of sparks
 A green dragon with spiralled eyes
 Fireworks light the way
 Fireworks light the way
 Fireworks light the way
 Fireworks light the way
 Before us lie many a night
 Before us lie fireworks in boxes
 But only in you
 Deep in you
 Only in you
 Deep in you
 Is the fire that lights them
 A man needs a woman or a man
 To be a man
 A man needs a woman or a man
 To be a man
