I still remember how she chased me around
The first time that I walked across her floor
And I ran and I ran but she persisted behind
Until I could not run no more
Cool and serene she did preen
But on a dime she turned mean
Catch the double-headed tiger by the tail
Disregarding albatross
She charged forward, fingers crossed
It was a plan destined to fail
But what more could she expect
From angels with linguine necks
Who would never dare to tell her what to do?
Give a zealous girl such power
And sooner or later it turns sour
As darker demons are let loose
Between reposeful sips of juice
Every once in a while
You can see in her smile
That some innocence remains there too
But then where is the justice for Sinclair Soul?
What was the man supposed to do?
What was the man supposed to do?
She often spoke of irksome days
When she would bounce from shore to shore
On an everlasting quest to find some truth
Until that afternoon in May
When she opened up that door
And felt reality's sharp tooth
Now all that she could do
To keep her head on fire
Is to conjure up a bigger dose
And then she'll doll up her walls
And draw her plans in the sands
Until the tide gets much too close
The wrath of some deep-sea ghost
Every once in a while
You catch a sense of her style
Like a new species signing up for the zoo
Until Old Man Soul
Could burn his hands on her wire
What was the man supposed to do?
What was the man supposed to do?
Born to be a poor, pathetic fool
Just what is a man supposed to do?
