lyrics

I've been the clouds
I've been the reason it rains
I've drawn your mind
And all its fascinations
I am because all of your property's sold
I've been Youth, The Envy of Old

This common man is proud to pull his head out of the clouds
And to greet you where you stand
On even, steady land
He'll hold your heart in his steady hand
And your pulse'll be the fanfare
Of this common man

I've been the rhythm
I've been the leg rendered lame
I've been the wild
And I have been tamed
Then comes you and all identity fades
Love comes true
Blown on the breeze and through blades

This common man is proud to pull his head out of the clouds
And to greet you where you stand
On even, steady land
He'll hold your heart in his steady hand
And your pulse'll be the fanfare
Of this common man

I've been the troll I've been the bridge he calls home
I've been loved
And I have loved alone
What will last long
Long after memory fades?
Quarter's spent. Have fun in the arcade.

This common man is proud to pull his head out of the clouds
And to greet you where you stand
On even, steady land
He'll hold your heart in his steady hand
And your pulse'll be the fanfare
Of this common man
And your pulse'll be the fanfare
Of this common man
Your pulse'll be the fanfare
Of this common man
