I'm Not The Man - 10,000 Maniacs[00:00:00]

It crawls on his back, won't ever let him be.[00:00:11]

Stares at the walls until[00:00:17]

The cinder blocks can breathe.[00:00:19]

His eyes have gone away, escaping over time.[00:00:23]

He rules a crowded nation inside his mind.[00:00:29]

He knows that night like his hand.[00:00:42]

He knows every move he made.[00:00:45]

Late shift, the bell that rang,[00:00:49]

A time card won't fade.[00:00:51]

10:05 his truck pulled home.[00:00:55]

10:05 he climbed his stair,[00:00:57]

About the time he was accused of being there.[00:01:00]

But I'm not the man.[00:01:09]

He goes free as I wait on the row for the man[00:01:12]

To test the rope he'll slip around my throat...[00:01:21]

And silence me.[00:01:26]

On the day he was tried no witnesses testified.[00:01:32]

Nothing but evidence, not hard to falsify.[00:01:39]

His own confession was a prosecutor's prize,[00:01:45]

Made up of fear, of rage and of outright lies.[00:01:50]

But I'm not the man.[00:01:59]

He goes free as the candle vigil glows,[00:02:02]

As they burn my clothes.[00:02:09]

As the crowd cries, "Hang him slow!"[00:02:20]

And I feel my blood go cold, he goes free.[00:02:25]

Call out the KKK, they're wild after me.[00:02:44]

And with that frenzied look of half-demented zeal,[00:02:49]

They'd love to serve me up my final meal.[00:02:55]

Who'll read my final rite and[00:03:07]

Hear my last appeal?[00:03:13]

Who struck this devil's deal?[00:03:19]
