Turin Brakes - Average Man Lyrics

If I was a farmer
Instead of a faker
If I was a realer
Not just some raker

Raking through a memory
That just doesn't belong to me
Just someone I could've been
If I only kept walking

Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realized
You're just an average man

Alone on a motorway
Catch your breath
Cat's eyes lead everyway
To lonesomeness

Since you learn to hide your fears
And downsize your dreams
Still alive, still sincere
Inside the scheme

Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realized
You're just an average man

If this is darkness here
And if this is darkness, coming

Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realized
You're just an average man
