Jangling Man Lyrics by Justus Proffit

SpeedStar

0

[Verse 1]
Breaking glass and burning buildings in the early greenhouse sun
The powers that will blame extremists and I may well be one
And all you kids in cardboard city, I hope you're having fun
And all you voters everywhere will remember what you've done
Remember what you've done

[Chorus]
I am just a jangling man
Been in the cold too long all along
I lived with a raggedy Anne
We never had any money, is it really so wrong?

[Verse 2]
Velvet gloves, the iron rod, and the bridal for your tongue
The tanks which trundle through the square where the old have killed the young
The wind feels all the colder now that summer's on the run
The old man sees the wall come down and reaches for his gun
Reaches for his gun

[Chorus]
I am just a jangling man
Been in the cold too long all along
I lived with a raggedy Anne
We never had any money, is it really so wrong?

[Refrain]
When we dream
Dream of the feeling
To wait one day and find that you are gone
And we dance
Dance by your graveside
So glad, so glad, so glad that you are gone

[Verse 3]
Wander dimly through the past of the LA that you knew
These dispossessed and homeless children, they all belong to you
They all belong to you

[Chorus]
I am just a jangling man
Been in the cold too long all along
I lived with a raggedy Anne
We never had any money, is it really so wrong?

[Refrain]
When we dream
Dream of the feeling
To wait one day and find that you are gone
And we dance
Dance by your graveside
So glad, so glad, so glad that you are gone

[Outro]
So glad, so glad, so glad that you are gone
So glad, so glad, so glad that you are gone
So glad, so glad, so glad that you are gone
