Lyrics King Crimson – The Other Man
Text:
He thought that he’d leave forever
(You’d never know, you’d never know)
Caught the wrong place
Lost in the snow
Some things survive
When all else is broken
Who’ll understand such circumstance?
No one needs to know
Another piece of architecture falls and crumbles in the rain
Another revolution fails amidst the smoke and flames
We’ll wonder if our memories erased
Like driftwood afloat at sea
Of turbulence and history
Dissidents and bigotry
Visions of what might have been
Drowning in a sea of dreams
My name is stolen
Nothing is true
It’s the other man
I’m not the other man
You want the other man
It’s been the other man
Keep hiding
Hiding away
Telling lies and building walls
Watch and wait for it to fall
Fall
