Giant Lyrics by The The

Soul Mining

1983

[Verse 1]
The sun is high and I'm surrounded by sand
For as far as my eyes can see
I'm strapped into a rocking chair
With a blanket all over my knees

[Verse 2]
I am a stranger to myself
And nobody knows I'm here
When I looked into my face
It wasn't myself I'd seen
But who I've tried to be

[Verse 3]
I'm thinking of things I'd hoped to forget
I'm choking to death in a sun that never sets
I clogged up my mind with perpetual greed
And turned all of my friends into enemies
And now the past has returned to haunt me

[Verse 4]
I'm scared of God and scared of Hell
And I'm caving in upon myself
I'm scared of God and scared of Hell
And I'm caving in upon myself

[Chorus]
How can anyone know me
When I don't even know myself?
How can anyone know me
When I don't even know myself?
How can anyone know me
When I don't even know myself?
How can anyone know me
When I don't even know myself?

[Outro]
