The Late Man by Tomi Sounds

the children ask me why.
i say “you're tender mind”, although no one can see the truth in your lies.
a million people ask me why.
i bet i'll say “because of rules”, by which we measure all our lives and our pain.

the late man asks me why.
i say “you're not too bad”, because every friend of mine will know where you have been.
the straight man will ask me why.
i'll have to say “i've done all i can”, even though no one stay by your side.

so if someone you ed says to me "how low ?"
then i don't want you to tell me a right place i should be.
and if somehow you me, and say "o"
when the time comes, i say
"see, what did i tell you then ?"
