lyrics

I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a business man
I wear a shirt and tie, I've got a pension plan
but it seems these days I don't know where I'm going
my office cube Daedalus-built
and I'm no minotaur
and Theseus is not my middle name.

When I was young, as a boy, as a boy, there was a sense of wonder
before the strain of life weighed heavy on my shoulder
and now I spend my days here sifting through the jetsam
searching for some solid ground or a sense of rationality
lost upon the rocks of Norman's woe.

The pen is mightier than the sword, but I've forgotten how to write
treading water every day, I'm the wreck of the Hesperus
