The Harder it Hits

[Verse 1]
I need a man
A double-edged sword who decides on lunch
Then lays me low
I picture him dressed in a bathrobe
But I'll never know
If that image is the fault of an overload
Or a drunk old man in his school clothes
Being sad in the way that occurs to him
That appeals to him

[Chorus]
The harder it hits, the harder it humbles
The harder it hits, the harder it humbles

[Verse 2]
I understand
That everybody sits on a spectrum now
Because they can
I listen for the gaps in their statements
For thе state-less
Can genеrate more pride in their nothingness
Than finagle old boots in their basements
Being bold in the way that occurs to them
That appeals to them

[Chorus]
The harder it hits, the harder it humbles
The harder it hits, the harder it humbles

[Bridge]
They laid him down
Like a tired dog
Like a tired dog, he lay
They pulled the sheets
Across his face
He lay, he lay, he lay, he lay
They laid him down
Like a tired dog
Like a tired dog, he lay
They pulled the sheets
Across his face
He lay, he lay, he lay, he lay, he lay!

The harder it was getting to be pulling at the threads
The harder it was getting to be pulling at the threads
The harder it was getting to be pulling at the threads
The harder it was getting to be pulling at the threads

[Outro]
The harder it hits, the harder it humbles
The harder it hits, the harder it humbles
