lyrics

I knew a man who looked like you
He owned a shop downtown
His hands were rough but his voice was soft
Though he rarely made a sound

He worked his days in solitude
His nights were much the same
After dark he'd pick a fiddle tune
You could hear him softly sing:

I sold all my dreams to cover the rent
I packed my whole life in a box call the weekend
And everyone else, they don't understand
I'm a mountain on fire, I'm a tiny straw man

The years come down like the pouring rain
And with the rain they pass
We all got somewhere to be going to
If we only had the gas

I sold all my dreams to cover the rent
I packed my whole life in a box call the weekend
And everyone else, they don't understand
I'm a mountain on fire, I'm a tiny straw man

The man downtown, he don't sing no more
His shop was boarded up
His song was carved into the wooden door
Before the flames burnt it up

I sold all my dreams to cover the rent
I packed my whole life in a box call the weekend
And everyone else, they don't understand
I'm a mountain on fire, I'm a tiny straw man
