Monument - The Waterboys

The man is a monument to himself

Oh yeah, listen to him talk

The man is a monument to himself

Oh yeah, listen to him talk

He says:

«Tell you 'bout my genius, man

It’s as high as the sky is blue

Explore my work you’ll understand

And come to find I’m a healer too»

So Narcissus plays his game

A hustle by any other name

Oh yeah, listen to him talk

The man is a monument to himself

Oh yeah, listen to him talk

He says:

«A humble servant of the fates

The powers that be tried to pull me down

Yet I’m the peer of all the greats

Enlightenment follows me around»

You who pass remember this

Here spoke the great self-rhapsodist

Oh yeah, listen to him talk

Loves, loves, loves, loves, loves

The sound of his voice

Loves, loves, loves, loves, loves

The sound of his voice
