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
