| Official Lyrics |
| (Intro)
One, two, three, four (Verse 1) There's a man who stands upon a hill Looking down to the people he has killed And he done them one by one There's a man, who stands above a grave Looking down to a woman he couldn't save And his life's been put on hold (Chorus) And he will make or break your day Turn round and look the other way You gotta listen to what he says And he will send you up or down Don't matter if your break your neck or drown You gotta listen to what he says (Verse 2) There's a man who lost what he once loved Lookin sad cause he knows the time has come To take his pain away He writes a note and he makes his way upstairs It won't be long til' he don't have to care Til' he meets our man on a hill (Chorus) And he will make or break your day Turn round and look the other way You gotta listen to what he says And he will send you up or down Don't matter if your break your neck or drown You gotta listen to what he says (Verse 2) There's a man who lost what he once loved Lookin sad cause he knows the time has come To take his pain away He writes a note and he makes his way upstairs It won't be long til' he don't have to care Til' he meets our man on a hill (Chorus) And he will make or break your day Turn round and look the other way You gotta listen to what he says And he will send you up or down Don't matter if your break your neck or drown You gotta listen to what he says [Guitar Solo] (Chorus) And he will make or break your day Turn round and look the other way You gotta listen to what he says And he will send you up or down Don't matter if your break your neck or drown You gotta listen to what he says |
