Standing at the platform, waiting for a train
Better take out your umbrella 'cause it looks like rain
God made the bees and the bees made the honey
God made the man and the man made money

You're the man who cannot dance, who says the band just cannot play
Steady on, little man, you've had a busy day

You've been playing soldiers and marching ones and twos
You've been fighting hard for freedom and scuffing up your shoes
Standing on the flight deck - a powerful sight
And made it thunder at the weak when they don't want to fight

And your war is just like love, it will always find a way
Steady on little man you've had a busy day

You've been playing cowboys letting off a little steam
Sitting tall in the saddle with big hat no cattle and dreaming your ten gallon dream

Hell bound sin-hound blasphemous dream
And another colded Jesus and tangled trinity
Herod made the devil in the salad days
And the blood red carpet guttered gods with feet of clay

And the lion takes your tongue and the wickedness who weighs
Steady on, little man, you've had a busy day

And every stake that fights the fan loses Don Quixote
Steady on, little man, you've had a busy day
Steady on, little man, you've had a busy day

(And a lion takes your tongue...)
