Diagonal Man

from AFTERGLOW by Jeannie Novak

/

lyrics

You crisscrossed through the ice
Carved up your dreams for a price
Looking for a big windfall
You just ignored my advice
Washed away a piece of paradise
For a life that was too small

Throwing everything into the air
Never hiding your eyes from the glare
You might never commit
Because you just don’t fit

Diagonal man
Will you take my hand
I’ll catch you
Diagonal man
Will you understand
What we’ve been through

Don’t you worry about the view
The world is big enough for you

You flip-flopped through the land
A twisted path for a crooked man
Waiting for the afterglow
You weren’t sure what they had planned
Dusted your footprints on the sand
Beneath a sky that was too low

Crouching through doorways everywhere
Never letting anybody care
With you it’s gloom and doom
Because there’s no room

Diagonal man
Will you take my hand
I’ll catch you
Diagonal man
Will you understand
What we’ve been through

Don’t you worry about the view
The world is big enough for you

Everything’s gonna be all right tonight
Just take my hand and let me be your guide
We can fly through this whole town tonight
Creating all our dreams on sight

Diagonal man
Will you take my hand
I’ll catch you
Diagonal man
Will you understand
What we’ve been through

Don’t you worry about the view
The world is big enough for you
Don’t you worry about the view
The world is big enough for you
