The ? Man
Alone I stand
without a plan
In the shadow of the question mark man
I play his game
say his name
find out later that I’m to blame
For I’m an also-ran
flash in the pan
In the shadow of the question mark man
Alone I stand
without a plan
In the shadow of the question mark man
I play his game
say his name
find out later that I’m to blame
Do you ever think of Mary
Do your thoughts still make you cry
Do you ever think of tearing out your eyes
Prepare to land
Down in the sand
Right at the feet of the question mark man
Deserve your fate
be not late
The time is not yours
don’t make him wait
‘Cause he is not your fan
bow if you can
Right at the feet of the question mark man
he won’t take your shit
no, not one bit
not even if you ask him nice
Do you ever speak to Nancy
Do you think it is worth your while
Do you ever think of choking on your smile
Alone I stand
without a plan
In the shadow of the question mark man
I play his game
say his name
find out later that I’m to blame
For you’re an also-ran
flash in the pan
In the shadow of the question mark man
A short-sleeve tan
a no-name brand
You’ve got nothing on the question mark man
So eat your pride
down the slide
to the place they call the other side
