Burke & Krowe - Mission Man Lyrics

Mission Man, won't you say hello
Cuz I see your worn-out shoes
Your blackened toes peeking through
And they say a man who travels is a man who knows

Mission Man, the time is nigh
My questions, posed, are met with shrugs
Rolling eyes, and prescription drugs
Lots of "what?"s, but never any "why?"s

Mission Man, this world I've known
With its trite advice and its Wednesday groans
Leaves me so jaded that I can hardly breathe
Mission Man, won't you take the lead

Mission Man, no, I can't stay here
I've got evangelists on every side
Self-assured that their claims are right
But still their eyes are so full of fear

Mission Man, this world I've known
With its plastic truths and its metal loans
Leaves me so jaded that I can hardly breathe
Mission man, won't you take the lead?

Mission Man, won't you blow my mind
If I'm livin' now then I'm halfasleep
Sedated by this world of ease
Comfort's a killer, and I'm not ready to die

Cuz Mission Man, there's a world out there
In cities of stone, in the misty mountain air
That leaves me so breathless that I can hardly speak
Mission Man
Mission Man
Mission Man, would you let me lead
