I used to get up and down
Now I just go out
Dogs have taken over the town
So I just stand in the rain
My job now has become obsolete
They don't need me to sweep the street
All that now is done with
The sweeping of a hand
I ain't the thing that people see
As the thing that you need
To be in the place
A man should be
So I just pick up the odds and ends
Left by the others when
They don't shine
Anymore
The people in the place to be
Feel fine to stare at me
Laying here beneath
The water line
I can breathe under the sea
Mountains step aside for me
Don't wanna be on TV
I just want the metal inside
I'm the man picks up the metal
Left by the people who think they'd know better
I'm the one still in the middle
Between death and solving the riddle
