The Man Who Dies Every Day Lyrics - Ultravox

Someone stood beside me for a moments in the rain 

A silhouette, a cigarette and a gesture of disdain 

I felt a dark door open, saw a sudden ghost come through 

A spark leap from my fingertip and I knew it must be you 

Ain't you the man who dies every day? 

You're the man who dies every day 

You're the man 

We never saw you walk in, we never saw you leave 

You flick the ashes off a lap on everybody's sleeve 

You always play that funny pack of cards without an ace 

And every street you ever walked is mapped out on your face 

'Cause you're the man who dies every day 

You're the man who dies every day 

You're the man 

You always kept a sunset behind your lonely shoulder 

You never showed on photographs and you never grew much older 

You flicker like a shaky shadow, moving like a thief 

You never drop your facade and you never seek relief 

'Cause you're the man who dies every day 

You're the man who dies every day 

You're the man who dies every day 

You're the man who dies every day 

You're the man
