Dark Man

lead vocal: Rob

Trash-Can-Man, you better run

‘Cause this ain’t no accident

And you’ll hear voices from more than one

We now begin our fast descent

Captain Tripps was bad when it was never meant to be

Imagine people praying for catastrophe

Cryptic, misread scripture always leads us to a snag

And the Dark Man’s name is Flagg

The rock-star heroes left their mark

Like Christ and Santa Claus

’Cept Jesus’ skin was desert-dark...

That should give you pause

Now they’re all down in Boulder

Trying to find a barber’s chair

Even Samson’s cutting off his once-loved hair

Tommy’s last epiphany missed the masses

What a drag

And the Dark Man’s name is Flagg

It seems the center doesn’t hold

The General would reveal

A sad mistake the story told

But not deliberate or real

Men of deep held faith

Now hold an angry, awesome might

And every power east and west

Blurs wrong and right

Imagining no religion

Was just a lonely, hopeful tag

And the Dark Man’s name is Flagg
