On the street they're preaching violence 

Mr Man it's in your head
On the street the midnight cowboy
Needs no gun to shoot you dead

Why do I act the way I do
Ain't it obvious I'm just a man like you

Mister Man full of love
Mister Man full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is a pilot
Mister Man is a fake
Mister Man is feeling hungry
And he's lying in wait

On the streets the lights are fighting
Searching for someone like you
Better find a good Messiah
To help the sad and lonely through

Why do I act the way I do
Ain't it obvious I'm much more black than blue

Mister Man full of love
Mister Man full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is a pilot
Mister Man is a fake
Mister Man is feeling hungry
And he's lying in wait

On the street they're preaching violence
Mr Man it's in your head
On the street the midnight cowboy
Needs no guns to shoot you dead

Why do I act the way I do
Ain't it obvious I'm just a man like you

Mister Man full of love
Mister Man full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is a pilot
Mister Man is a fake
Mister Man is feeling hungry
And he's lying in wait






Desert loving in your eyes all the way. 

If I listen to your lies would you say
I'm a man without conviction,
I'm a man who doesn't know
how to sell a contradiction.
You come and go, you come and go.

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.

Don't hear your wicked words every day
and you used to be so sweet, I heard you say
that my love was an addiction.
When we cling our love is strong.
When you go you're gone forever.
You string along, you string along.

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.

Every day is like survival,
you're my lover, not my rival.
Every day is like survival,
you're my lover, not my rival.

I'm a man without conviction,
I'm a man who doesn't know
how to sell a contradiction.
You come and go, you come and go.

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green. (fade)
