I can remember the places I stayed
 Things that I did, the ways I behaved
 The women I loved, the words that I said
 Like a dream passing through

 Causes I had, the corners I turned
 The friends that I left and the bridges I burned
 They were part of a place, a rhythm of life
 That no longer will do

 Hey man, what about you?
 Something has happened to me
 Has it happened to you?
 To my own heart, I've tried to be [bad word]  Hey man, what about you?

 Winding my way through the turns and the bends
 I have been waiting for life to begin
 For something to do, something to hold
 That was bigger than I

 Whatever I did, it was never enough
 Wherever I stood, I was still out of touch
 Like a man in the dark
 Following sparks through an ebony sky

 Hey man, what about you?
 Something has happened to me
 Has it happened to you?
 To my own heart, I've tried to be [bad word]  Hey man, what about you?

 Well, like it or not, I [bad word] to this place
 The past in my heart, the wind in my face
 And a son who was born on the eve of a war
 Of a reckless design

 With my knees to the earth and my ear to the ground
 What I thought was the [bad word] was only a sound
 Of a shot in the wind, the beginning, my friend
 Of these desperate times

 Hey man, what about you?
 Something has happened to me
