HOLLOW MAN

VERSE:
before you lifted your bridal veil
The noonday sun found me running
When they rang that steeple bell
A coronation lynch mob was coming
I ruled the boxcar with the brawn of my hands
begged for pies along the way
Fought the brakeman outside Chapman Town
Rode 400 miles a day

PRE-CHORUS:
all I had was right there inside me
but I couldn't make it fall
You staked my heart at the alter of patience
I won't be back at all

CHORUS:
I'm a hallow man
that's what I am
A hollow man
thats what i am

VERSE:
I know it broke your catered heart
add to your pedigree - shame
Why I never took to your saddle on my back
I cant' begin to explain
In my head seasons spin round
merry go 'round a shadowed sun
and your demanding upset my tides and oceans
gravity came undone

PRE-CHORUS:
oh i lie me down
in the moon's cold eye
I etched your name on the barrel of my shotgun
a dies irae lullaby

CHORUS:
I'm a hollow man
I'm a hollow man
thats what I am
Thats what I am

BRIDGE
If i could make my case with some benevolent god and roll some tears of your own across the floor of this boxcar
with coal dust and the cinders swirling... (gravity undone)

PRE-CHORUS:
CHORUS:
