Faith No More - Just A Man Lyrics






Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow

A star is out
I reach for one to sparkle in my hand
A star is out
I will not touch you, I am just a man

Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow

- And every night I shut my eyes
So I don't have to see the light
Shining so bright
I'll dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy sky

"Man was born to love -
Though often he has sought
Like Icarus, to fly too high.
And far too lonely than he ought
To kiss the sum of east and west
And hold the world at his behest -

To hold the terrible power
To whom only gods are blessed -
But me, I am just a man"

- And every night I shut my eyes
So I don't have to see the light
Shining so bright
I'll dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy sky

And every night I shut my eyes
But now I've got them open wide
You've fallen into my hands
And now you're burning me
You're burning me

  43. C.... V....

    Man was born to love-
    Though often he has sought
    Like icarus, to fly too high-
    And far too lonely than he ought
    To kiss the sun of east and west
    And hold the world at his behest-
    To hold the terrible power
    To whom only gods are blessed-
    But me, I am just a man

  44. M.... W....

    Lyrics

    Sky is clear tonight
    Sky is clear tomorrow

    A star is out
    I reach for one to
    Sparkle in my hand
    A star is out
    I will not touch you,
    I am just a man

    Sky is clear tonight
    Sky is clear tomorrow

    And every night
    I shut my eyes
    So I don't have
    To see the light
    Shining so bright
    I'll dream about
    A cloudy sky,
    About a cloudy sky

    Sky is clear tonight
    Sky is clear tomorrow

    A star is out
    I reach for one to
    Sparkle in my hand
    In your hand
    A star is out
    I will not touch you,
    I am just a man
    Cause he is
    Just a man

    Man was born to love
    Though often he has sought
    Like Icarus,
    To fly too high
    And far too lonely
    Than he ought
    To kiss the sun
    Of east and west
    And hold the world
    At his behest
    To hold the terrible power
    To whom only gods are blessed
    But me,
    I am just a man

    And every night
    I shut my eyes
    So I don't have
    To see the light
    See the light
    Shining so bright
    I'll dream about
    A cloudy sky,
    About a cloudy sky
    And every night
    I shut my eyes
    But now I've got
    Them open wide
    Open wide
    You've fallen into my hands
    Into my hands
    And now you're burning me
    And now you're burning me
    And every night
    I shut my eyes
    So I don't have
    To see the light
    See the light
    Shining so bright
    I'll dream about
    A cloudy sky,
    About a cloudy sky
    And every night
    I shut my eyes
    But now I've got
    Them open wide
    Wide
    Open wide
    Shining so bright
    I'll dream about
    A cloudy sky,
    About a cloudy sky
    A cloudy sky
    Woo
    A cloudy sky
    Woo
    A cloudy sky
    That's what I said
    See the light
    Shining so bright
    I'll dream about
    A cloudy sky,
    About a cloudy sky
    Whoo
    That's right
    Whoo
    Now I've got
    Them open
    Open wide

  81. N.... ....

    Cony si ves esto saludoooooooooooos xD

  82. W.... M....

    How can you not sing along every time this song comes on??

  83. o.... l....

    I understand this as a song about himself and his relationship with fame and success, after dreaming of this star, it fell into his hands and burned him, which is just a man.

  84. R.... T....

    It's sad 99% of the people that comment on FNM vids only comment about Mike Patton. This band is great because everyone in the band is talented, not just him.

    R.... T....

    tan grave.. tienes razon... pero Mike es ufff great!!

    R.... T....

    Most of the material of the band was written by Billy Gould. It's the fact.

    R.... T....

    @Trevor Kupetz No. Potencial was obvious from the Real Thing. And then he was just a vocalist. He was involved in songwriting only since Angel Dust and even then he didn't play a big role if you look in the credits. Yes, he is talanted singer but FNM would be great band and without him.

    R.... T....

    I agree but Patton is a crazy unique talent as a front man so I give people a pass on that . Liking Patton is just too easy which leads people to appreciate the rest of the band eventually .

    R.... T....

    Patton to FNM is like Nike Young to Crazy Horse for me. Great band, talented in their own right, but you need that lead.

  85. d.... 5....

    Tanks MAK

  86. L.... O....

    Skies are green toniight

  87. M.... ....

    Mike Patton is one of the greatest vocalists alive today

  88. D.... *....

    This song makes me jizz in my panties, and I'm a dude in boxer briefs.

  89. r.... s....

    This song breaks my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  90. B.... B....

    SHINING SO BRIGHT I DREAM ABOUT A CLOUDED SK AND EVER NIGHT I SHUT MAA EES BUT NOW I GOT THEM OPEN WIDE WHAT?

  91. r.... s....

    As far as i can see it can skip the bunny and turn the wheel/ tommorrow is another day and i must dream************************************************

  92. M.... S....

    Master!!!

  93. K.... L....

    My favourite

  94. M.... G....

    Mike Patton no sólo es uno de los mejores cantantes vivos, también es un filósofo de la hostia

  95. S.... 0....

    "last to know", is also briliant vocals!

  96. M.... ....

    Masterpiece.
