"Man Gone West" lyrics

They told you about the meanings
They told you about seeing signs
They told you about rhyme and reason
You know it comes down to not lying
The signs are there above you
Floating around in the air
And I don't know why I'm singing
Singing 'cause I don't care

By the time you hear about it
There's another man gone west
By the time you hear about it
There's another man gone west

There's all kinds of sin in the Bible
There's all kinds of fun on the street
There's all kinds of lies on my ceiling
All kinds of dirt on your feet

Everybody, everybody, everybody
It don't mean a damn thing
You got to sit back and let it happen
Sit back and do your own thing

By the time you hear about it
There's another man gone west
By the time you hear about it
There's another love found dead

Everybody, everybody wants to know
How it felt and the difference made
How you found out from your lover
And how it feels to be off your head
You know, you know you still love her
You know that you want her still
You're gonna wind up in trouble
On the other side of the hill

By the time you hear about it
There's another love gone dead
By the time you hear about it
There's another man gone west
Man gone...
