THE LIGHTNING SEEDS: The Nearly Man
Intro and Verse: Dm F C G
Down here at the bottom when you're staring at the top
With a headful of ideas, I'm only flesh and blood
On an eiderdown of glory and a pillow of desire
Drifting on an ocean and the waves wash through my mind
F Dm Am
Something haunts us, kicks the stars from our skies
F Dm Am
Blows the lights out with a whisper and sighs
F G Am
If you're down, down, I'm down, down
G F Am
And when you're down, down, I'm down, down
Well I was nearly me and you were nearly you
The nearly man was nothing, he was never any use
Beaten down by generations of generations beaten down
There's nothing I can promise that my conscience will allow
