Man From Pakistan

The Flaming Lips · Hear It Is [1986]

This man was walking, down by the curb,

He had lost his saddle in the mud.

This guy was crying, tears from his eyes,

Part of his body was paralyzed.



I thought it was a dream.

Strangest thing I've seen.

O'er and o'er and over, 'til I think I don't exist.



So I went up to him, and asked him what

He was doing, and who he was.

He said his memory had been dilluted,

He said he once was electrocuted.



I thought it was a dream.

Strangest thing I've seen.

O'er and o'er and over, 'til I think I don't exist.



He said he'd come from pakistan,

Where he was beaten by a policeman.

That's why he walked, a duty crawl.

And acted like he knew it all.



I thought it was a dream.

Strangest thing I've seen.

O'er and o'er and over, 'til I think I don't exist.
