Songtexte

Fat man looking in a blade of steel
Thin man looking at his last meal
Hollow man looking in a cottonfield
For dignity
Wise man looking in a blade of grass
Young man looking in the shadows that pass
Poor man looking through painted glass
For dignity
Somebody got murdered on new year's eve
Somebody said dignity was the first to leave
I went into the city, went into the town
Went into the land of the midnight sun
Searching high, searching low
Searching everywhere I know
Asking the cops wherever I go
Have you seen dignity?
Blind man breaking out of a trance
Puts both his hands in the pockets of chance
Hoping to find one circumstance
Of dignity
I went to the wedding of Mary Lou
She said "I don't want nobody seeing me talking to you"
She said she could get killed if she told me
What she knew about dignity
I went down where the vultures feed
I would have gone deeper but there wasn't any need
I heard the tongues of angels, the tongues of men
And there wasn't any difference to me
Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade
House on fire, debts unpaid
Gonna stand by the window, gonna ask the maid
Have you seen dignity?
Drinking man listens to the voice he hears
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors
Looking into the lost forgotten years
For dignity
Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues
Said he'd give me information if his name wasn't used
He wanted money up front, said he was abused
By dignity
Footprints running across the silver sand
Steps going down into a tattooed land
I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light
In the border towns of despair
Got no place to fade, I got no coat
On a rolling river in a jerking boat
Trying to read a note somebody wrote
About dignity
Sick man looking for the doctor's cure
Looking at his hands for the lines that were
And into every masterpiece of literature
For dignity
Englishman stranded in the black hard wind
Combing his hair back, his future looks thin
He bites the bullet, he looks within
For dignity
Somebody showed me a picture and I just laughed
Dignity never been photographed
I went into the red, went into the black
Into the valley of dry bone dreams
So many roads, so much snake
So many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take
To find dignity
