Dignity

par Joe Cocker

lyricscopy.com
Fat man lookin´ in a blade of steel
Thin man lookin´ at his last meal
Hollow man lookin´ in a cottonfield
For dignity

Wise man lookin´ in a blade of grass
Young man lookin´ in the shadows that pass
Poor man lookin´ through painted glass
For dignity

Somebody got murdered on New Year´s Eve
Somebody said dignity was the first to leave
I went into the city, went into the town
Went into the land of the midnight sun

Searchin´ high, searchin´ low
Searchin´ everywhere I know
Askin´ the cops wherever I go
Have you seen dignity?

Blind man breakin´ out of a trance
Puts both his hands in the pockets of chance
Hopin´ to find one circumstance
Of dignity

I went to the wedding of Mary-lou
She said ´I don´t want nobody see me talkin´ to you"
Said she could get killed if she told me what she knew
About dignity

I went down where the vultures feed
I would´ve got deeper, but there wasn´t any need
Heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men
Wasn´t any difference to me

Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade
House on fire, debts unpaid
Gonna stand at the window, gonna ask the maid
Have you seen dignity?

Drinkin´ man listens to the voice he hears
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors
Lookin´ into the lost forgotten years
For dignity

Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues
Said he´d give me information if his name wasn´t used
He wanted money up front, said he was abused
By dignity

Footprints runnin´ cross the silver sand
Steps goin´ down into tattoo land
I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light
In the bordertowns of despair

Got no place to fade, got no coat
I´m on the rollin´ river in a jerkin´ boat
Tryin´ to read a note somebody wrote
About dignity

Sick man lookin´ for the doctor´s cure
Lookin´ at his hands for the lines that were
And into every masterpiece of literature
for dignity

Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind
Combin´ his hair back, his future looks thin
Bites the bullet and he looks within
For dignity

Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed
Dignity never been photographed
I went into the red, went into the black
Into the valley of dry bone dreams

So many roads, so much at stake
So many dead ends, I´m at the edge of the lake
Sometimes I wonder what it´s gonna take
To find dignity
