lyrics

No Ordinary Man
I caught a fast plane there,
Its shiny blue tail in the air,
Prayin’ we weren’t just another
people-filled missile,
For some terrorist scare.
Yeah, it’s such a mixed up place,
This home of the human race,
Everybody says the same thing in
different ways,
“I need a little more space“.
A pretty little gypsy girl,
Found me stoned in Amsterdam,
She said sometimes God speaks to her,
Shows her part of his master plan.
She said she saw me standing there,
With my blood red fist in the air,
She said I punched the wall and cursed
the lord above,
Because he’s so unfair.
But wait a minute, how could it be?
She wasn’t even there.
Believe me, I’m no ordinary man.
Don’t leave me, I won’t understand.
Well then she took me away,
To meet a consecrated man,
To an unknown castle in the east,
Full of people from every land.
Such an amazing space,
So many people in God’s grace,
You know it wasn’t any big surprise,
I felt a little out of place.
Visions all around me, but I didn’t,
Even get a taste.
Believe me, I’m no ordinary man.
Don’t leave me, I won’t understand.
Believe me, I’m no ordinary man.
Don’t leave me, I’m doing the best I can, I am.
Believe! Believe!
Went to see a factory,
Yeah, the biggest ever murder-machine,
The fruition of a plan by a man,
More evil than we’ve ever seen.
Yeah, he was bad on his own,
No no, but he was not alone,
He needed ordinary men to deliver,
Six million to ash and bone,
And on that road of broken dreams,
I imagined all their cries and screams,
And finally saw what it all means,
We all are on our own.
