Coral Cactus - What Happened Mr. Man? Lyrics

I'm facing my lover in the mirror at three
And at four, broken and sore, I come in lying through my teeth
I said 'Please don't you bother'
Still fathers hide their daughters so well
Well oh well, they're not welcome
I've got everything I need

But these lonely streets
Where we still meet
Are playing tricks on our eyes
And people pass
Just a moment, it won't last
Still we make up stories of their lives

Now I'm taking care
Oh, to take care of myself
When I should be taking care of you
And the people that I see all around
They've got everything all figured out
Am I wrong? Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me I'm paranoid and stoned

Now there's new faces
Filling in the empty spaces on the street
Filling in the empty places where we eat
Filling up this empty home
This empty home is filling up with things that broke

But these lonely streets
Where we still meet
Are playing tricks on our eyes
And people pass
Just a moment, it won't last
Still we make up stories of their lives
