Brian Vander Ark's Another Good Man from Angel, Put Your Face On

I was pretty popular today
No one really had a lot to say
The hallway frantic footsteps still remind me
Those footsteps turn to tiptoes when they find me

It's harder than you'd think
To look me in the eyes
Your heart's in the right place,
But your head it still denies
And you don't need to say a thing
Because we've shared some common ground
It's enough that you came to see that
I'm still the same man going down

A good friend brought some beer in yesterday
Got a good buzz on until the buzzkill with the clipboard comes
He says my insides, well the damage would astound me
I laughed, at least it left the outsides as it found me

It's harder than you'd think
To look me in the eyes
Your heart's in the right place,
But your head it still denies,
And you don't need to say a thing
Because we have shared some common ground
It's enough that you came to be here with
Another good man going down
Now wait a minute
There's a photograph and I'm still in it
It's life support
You whip it out and say:
"He used to be,
"He used to do,

"He used to say..."

It's harder than you'd think
Like cold December ground
That's covered by the snow
That's babtizing this town
And you don't need to say a thing
As they lay me in the ground
Once in awhile you could raise a glass for me
Another good man going down

I was pretty popular today
I was pretty popular today
