Lyrics
THE LONG ROAD TO MANLAND
(OCTOBER 10TH 2006)
He walks along this road again
Just nine years old and reaching ten
He’ll try to get as far as them
With no role model of a man
Sure, he’ll know how to speak to girls
That’s what you learn when you’re alone
With women, five of them at home
Five cases of pm syndrome
He’s packed light, he’s going nomad all the way, walking down the Nile
It’s like he’s walking all the way to the sun for a million miles
It’s a long way to manland, but he’ll make it out just fine…
There’s only one way to travel
I made it, so will he, I know
The longest deserts can’t compare
To what it’s like just to get there…
