Neil Young - Extra, Extra (Elektra Audition 1965) lyrics
[Neil Young - Extra, Extra Elektra Audition 1965 lyrics]
I saw a man yesterday
I asked him if he'd wanna
Tell me what made him this way
He said, when it's born, it's warm
Then it gathers strength in lies
When it falls, it falls all over you
He used to pick his friends
They left him in the end
An easy thing to lose
The right to pick and choose
When it's born, it's warm
Then it gathers strength in lies
When it falls, it falls all over you
He said he left his wife
The back-bone of his life another came along
But now I guess she's gone
I think I used to see that old man on TV
Can you be the same?
It seems like such a shame
When it's born, it's warm
Then it gathers strength in lies
When it falls, it falls all over you
The world he thought he knew
Has better things to do as I went on my way
I thought I heard him say
