lyrics

A dozen white roses, cut, still cling to life
In this steel cinema butterflies have been known to fly
Like moths attracted to the light
"We musn't hang around too long," she said
"This town is a graveyard floating in the empty head of a quadraped
Kneeling and drinking at the river's edge"

Let me Frank, oh yes, let me be Joyce
All my life I've been a man but now, given the choice
Like Clark Kent or a Russian spy
I'm disguised as one of the guys

Are we our bodies? Are our bodies prisons?
I feel as if I've been bitten
By a man who loses his skin
And now its that skin that I'm stuck in
Some minds are haunted by visions
Others by their decisions
Perhaps that's why I felt driven to smile when you said
When you said...

Let me Frank, oh yes let me be Joyce
All my life I've been a man but now, given the choice
Like Clark Kent or a Russian spy
I'm disguised as one of the guys

Are we our bodies? Are our bodies prisons?
I feel as if I've been bitten
By a man who loses his skin
And now its that skin that I'm stuck in
Will we see an end to lines of men, haunted by the sound
Of ghosts laboring in this industrial burial ground
Has it always been such a drag to hang around Youngstown?

Let me Frank, oh yes, let me be Joyce
All my life I've been a man but now, given the choice
Like Clark Kent or a Russian spy
I'm disguised as one of the guys
