Tried To Be A Man - Rickie Lee Jones[00:00:00]
Well you we don't need no one[00:00:08]
Trying to set us straight[00:00:11]
I got a red neck in plaid suit[00:00:13]
And he's on tv real late[00:00:16]
Balalaikas tolling Sheba plays the flute[00:00:19]
There's communist and capitalists[00:00:23]
They all think I'm cute[00:00:25]
You know I'm out of rehab[00:00:28]
You know I'm with the band[00:00:30]
Anyway I think it's time to say[00:00:32]
Exactly what I am[00:00:34]
'Cause I tried to be a man[00:00:37]
But that's what I'm not meant to be[00:00:41]
You know I'm[00:00:45]
Tried to be a man[00:00:46]
That's not what I came to be[00:00:49]
Well there's seven years of famine[00:00:59]
And seven years of drought[00:01:01]
Seven years of Sam[00:01:04]
You know what I'm talking about[00:01:05]
And it won't take very long before it's hard to tell[00:01:08]
If they're trying to take you back with him[00:01:13]
To heaven or to hell[00:01:15]
They make her so pretty[00:01:18]
She won't be pretty long[00:01:20]
She'll be rising out of the sea of planet Babylon[00:01:22]
'Cause she tried to be a man[00:01:26]
That's not what she came to be[00:01:30]
Oh she tried to be a man[00:01:35]
That's not what she came to be[00:01:39]
She's living down on Bronson[00:02:17]
She never blinks her eyes[00:02:19]
The family in Wisconsin[00:02:21]
Look like they're hypnotized[00:02:24]
I get a strange sensation[00:02:26]
When I lay down in my bed[00:02:28]
In fact if you could drop me on the corner[00:02:31]
Here instead on planet Babylon[00:02:33]
That's where they wrote the book[00:02:37]
There's something here about you[00:02:40]
Come on and take a look[00:02:42]
You tried to be a man[00:02:45]
But that's not what you came to be[00:02:47]
It says it says it says it says[00:02:51]
You tried to be a man[00:02:53]
But that's not what you came to be[00:02:56]
Came to be[00:03:02]
What you came to be[00:03:06]
That's not what you came to be[00:03:09]
