Intro :
Its not the w ind that keeps you up
Its not the s now
Its not the m oon
Coming like a h eadlight
Through your w indow.
Its not the t humbnail of a screen
That s crapes aw ay y our d ream.
Its just this m an.
Taking what he needs
From the s tore room.
Its not the ne ...ws of burning towns
That ruins your mind
Like a spool you turn and you turn
But it wont unwind.
Though these wars you did not start
They dont tear your sleep apart.
Its just a man.
Taking what he needs
From the store room.
And now this w ...oman by your side
Well shes asleep
And theres nothing you can give her
And theres nothing you want to keep.
You dont even try to prove that the noise
Is neighbors making love.
Its just a man.
Taking what he needs
From the store room.
Well go to sle ...ep and change the locks
When you wake up
Share your toast maybe
Spill some coffee from your cup.
Oh theres nothing left to choose
And there is so much more to loose.
Theres this man.
Taking what he needs
From the store room.
Its not the w ind that keeps you up
Its not the s now
Its not the m oon
Coming like a h eadlight
Through your w indow.
Its not the t humbnail of a screen
That s crapes aw ay y our d ream.
Its just a man.
Taking what he needs

Its not the ne ...ws of burning towns
That ruins your mind
Like a spool you turn and you turn
But wont unwind.
No these wars you did not start
They dont tear your sleep apart.
Its just a man.
Taking what he needs
From the store room.
And now the wo ...man by your side
Well shes awake
But theres nothing you can give her
And theres nothing you want to take.
You dont even try to prove that the noise
Is neighbors making love.
Its just a man.
Taking what he needs
From the store room.
Oh go to sleep ... and change the locks
When you wake up
Share your toast maybe
Spill a little coffee from your cup.
Hes got nothing left to choose
And youve got so much more to loose.
Its just a man.
Taking what he needs
From the store room.
