(spoken):
so, uh, in the meantime, i’d like to play this song called the archetypal man. and archetypal**that means the mold that we’re all born from

i really wrote this for an old boyfriend who**who had a lot of passion in his dishonesty. and it got me**i don’t know how to explain it, so i had to write a song about him

and, uh, on the album, i um, made up a little harpsichord solo in the middle of it, so i’ll sing you the harpsichord solo

the archetypal man

(harpsichord solo, on scat syllables)
da ba da ba da ba da ba ba da…

hmm, hmm

fleeter even than mercury
he flies inside the walls he calls his own
he came hidin’, but now i see
he looks like еvery one i’ve еver known

he comes bearin’ a sacrifice
i know him by the rose that’s in his hand
i’ve been listenin’ to his advice
i hear the words, but i can’t understand

his moon mirage is shinin’
shiftin’ the things that he can’t endure
but all through the darkness his pain is pure

fleeter even than mercury
he flies inside the walls he calls his own
he came hidin’, but now i see
he looks like every one i’ve ever known

he comes bearin’ a sacrifice
i know him by the rose that’s in his hand
i’ve been listenin’ to his advice
i hear the words, but i can’t understand

his moon mirage is shinin’
through his veins flows a fool’s gold flood
but through the rose in his hand flows blood
