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...)
