Can Man

-Temple; Dreamer

I'm in the can, man, man.
I'm in the can, man.

You came on the wind,
Stepped off a rainbow,
Promising nothing--
Promising everything to me
And to those who'd believe.

You came from the world,
Swept off the ocean,
Telling those lies and
Promising everything to me
If I'd only believe.

But you turned your back on me and cast me away.
Forever I'll stay
Here where I am.
I'm in the can, man, man.
I'm in the can, man.

You struggled inside
To move all directions,
Forfeiting nothing--
Forfeiting everything you had:
All divided and sad.

You play with your mind.
You try to be changeless,
Omitting nothing--
Blinded to everything you see
And refuse to believe.

As you get twisted,
Things may look different.
But you can't escape yourself.
There you are! Forever so sad.
But here I am!
I'm in the can, man, man.
I'm in the can, man.

INST ((electric guitar))

I'm in the can, man, man.
I'm in the can, man.
REPEAT & FADE
