The Man From The Planet Marzipan Lyrics - Vol. 2 Happiness Is The Road: The Hard Shoulder - Marillion

I am the man from the planet Marzipan 

Good to see you 

My eyes are screwed up tight, unaccustomed to the light 

And all my arms and all my legs are much too long 

Much too long 

My head is in a state, unaccustomed to the weight 

I wear this mild expression, I'm an alien to aggression 

Music only does me in my skins so thin 

There's so much that I can't take in 

There's so much that I can't take in 

There's so much that I daren't take in 

Can you feel through my skin to me? 

Can you feel through my skin to me? 

Throw a tarpaulin over me 

I look like a rotary washing line 

I am the face of 2069 

I have trouble with my breathing 

My net-curtain lungs 

And the thoughtlessness of other people's careless tongues 

The air's so thin 

Oh my skin 

The air's so thin 

Oh my skin 

I am the man from the planet Marzipan 

My eyes are screwed up tight, unaccustomed to the light 

I wear this mild expression, I'm an alien to aggression 

The air's so thin 

Oh my skin 

Oh my skin.. 

I'm so close.. 

I'm so close to a breakdown 

A constant crisis in the heart 

What the hell is going on here? 

Earth creatures. Amazing, beautiful and mad. 

Monkeys trying to be stars 

Monkeys carrying their Gods around 

Lies and murder in the name of heaven 

Seen it all before in the kindergartens of the Universe 

It would be quaint if it wasn't so damned scary 

I can't listen and I can't watch 

I can see inside the machine 

I can see the join! I can see the join. 

Can you feel through my skin to me? 

Can you see through my skin? 

It's all here in my skin, you see 

It's all here in my skin, 

Here in my skin! 

If you really look 

It's a nursery book.
