The Sulphur Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fate
Bought you
Brought you next to ghosts
They
Talk in code
Looking for the way out
I hope, I hope
I hope you want to live a day
And learn to cope
I hope you find what matters
Through the streets and on your own
Almost lost and almost home
We'll be looking all we can
We'll be searching for the sulphur man
Pills stop you
Stopped you feeling life
Fall
Into a hole
Sympathy and all
A soul in tatters
A soul as black as coal
I hope, I hope
I wish you could find what matters
Through the streets and on your own
Almost lost and almost home
We'll be looking all we can
We'll be looking for the sulphur man
Through the streets and on your own
Almost lost and almost home
We'll be looking all we can
We'll be searching for the sulphur man
Through the streets and on your own
Almost lost and almost home
We'll be looking all we can
We'll be searching for the sulphur man
