Man of the Land (feat. Real Lies)

I'm a man of the land

A wonderer with no clan

Can't live the life my instincts say I oughta

I'm a man of the land

A devil in demand

But love would see me walk across the water

I spend my time in bars

And cash and cars under the stars

I spin my tender ties morose

You will say you love the sound of breaking glass

Til the pieces feel too close

I'm a man of the land

A wonderer with no clan

Can't live the life my instincts say I oughta

I'm a man of the land

A devil in demand

But love would see me walk across the water

I spend my days surrounded by the screaming TV screens

I spend my evenings far away

All my favorite teenage dreams were movie scenes

Cut through my twenties like a blade

'Cause I only feel like me

When I'm where I've never been

And my Walsall working days have span away

So roll up and test your metal

Where the dust never settles

And you never win, no matter how you play

All the people that I know in the places that I go

Say to me "why can't you be more pleasant?"

But for all the late night bars and their euphorias

All I ever really want to feel is present

But for all the late night bars and their euphorias

All I ever really want to feel is present

All I ever really want to feel is present

I'm a man on a mission

A compelling proposition

To adore before this cruel world leaves me cold

There's a time I would return to

'Cause only love can hurt you

And love has learned to leave me well alone

I'm a man of the land

Take my comfort where I can

I find it in the flora and the fauna

I'm a man of the land

Hate is painted on my hands

But love is only one look 'round the corner

I'm a man of the land

The sirens understand

Today, now send the red skies out to warn ya

I'm a man of the land

No face tats or xans

I come from Callis Mill, not California

I'm a man of the land

A wonderer with no clan

Can't live the life my instincts say I oughta

I'm a man of the land

A devil in demand

But for love, I would walk across the water
