factory man - roan yellowthorn lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i know a man
not very well
mostly from what i’ve heard tell
he lives alone
in rented halls
with all his paintings
on the walls

[pre*chorus]
and he collects
a tv shrine
you should see all the photographs that he’s had signed
his famous friends don’t know his name
but it’s on all the faces on the picture frames
(ahhahhahh)

[chorus]
he has the heart of an artist
the soul of a poet
in the factory break room
he sketches portraits
of tired men
sitting down
he sees beauty
all around
ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
[verse 2]
he knew a girl
who didn’t stay
she’s still in town
but far away
sometimes he smokes
a pack a day
thinking over
what he’d say

[pre*chorus]
and if you chance
upon his face
you’ll know
that he’s in another place
he can go there anytime
where light and color are intertwined
(ahhahhahh)

[chorus]
he has the heart of an artist
the soul of a poet
in the factory break room
he sketches portraits
of tired men
sitting down
he sees beauty
all around
[bridge]
he used to be
on faculty
to college kids
near albany
for twenty years he taught them art
if you ask him what happened
he’ll read your chart and
tell you what your stars say
it never hurts to know what’ll come your way

[chorus]
he has the heart of an artist
the soul of a poet
in the factory break room
he sketches portraits
of tired men
sitting down
he sees beauty
all around

[outro]
in the factory break room
he’s a tired man
sitting down
who sees beauty
all around
