Saw a man on a corner and I watched as he played
A song on a flute that told of his days
In a story of torture that came without sound
This music of misery won't let me down

Shadows keep hanging over me
Like a clown of defeat
My conscience is my integrity
So all eyes on me

You've got to stop crying over me
I could learn but what a man would I be
I could run away just to hear you say
Let's all just get along
Let's just all walk away

All eyes on me

Saw a man on a corner and I watched as he played
In a circle of chalk that he'd marked on the pavement
He told of his life and a web that he'd made
A circle of misery, a circle of pain
