Boy Trapped in a Man Songtext
von Jackie Leven

Your words they kill me
As I stumble out the door
You shout get out of here
And don′t come back no more
Outside in sunlight
I pretend there's nothing wrong
But I am heading
For the bar and something strong

I am a boy trapped in a man′s life
I hurt my kids
And I hurt my wife
Where the hell do we go from here?
If I don't know where here is
How can I get to there?


If you had seen me
Singing out my tribal song
You would appreciate
That sometimes I am strong
But back in that house
There is blood upon the walls
And twisted mirrors follow me
Right down the hall

I am a boy trapped in a man's life
I hurt my kids
And I hurt my wife
Where the hell do we go from here?
If I don′t know where here is
How can I get to there?

One sullen evening
I am weeping through the scheme
One memory comes back inside me
Like a dream
My standing mother
Strokes my sitting father′s hair
Then looks into his eyes
And sees there's no-one there


I am a boy trapped in a man′s life
I hurt my kids
And I hurt my wife
Where the hell do we go from here?
If I don't know where here is
How can I get to there?
