The horses are asleep
With heavy eyes that close
In dreams they trace the path
By which the river flows
Let spirit now align with the estuary
As Nightfall's open mouth howls out to the sea

It starts with a kick then
Hips align vertically
Muscle and bone assemble
The carriage of her arms breaks free
I douse this bulrush with petrol from a can
And into the forest with it lit I ran

[Chorus]
I'm a man
I'm a man
I'm a man, with a child's heart

The horses are asleep
The stable door will lock
Count the hours you keep on a ballerina clock
Let spirit now align with the current of the breeze
As Nightfall's open mouth howls out through the trees

It starts with a kick then
Hips align vertically
Muscle and bone assemble
The carriage of her arms breaks free
I douse this bulrush with petrol from a can
And into the forest with it lit I ran
[Chorus]
I'm a man
I'm a man
I'm a man, with a child's heart
