Dignity Lyrics - Organic - Joe Cocker

Fat man lookin' in a blade of steel 

Thin man lookin' at his last meal 

Hollow man lookin' in a cottonfield 

For dignity 

 

Wise man lookin' in a blade of grass 

Young man lookin' in the shadows that pass 

Poor man lookin' through painted glass 

For dignity 

 

Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve 

Somebody said dignity was the first to leave 

I went into the city, went into the town 

Went into the land of the midnight sun 

 

Searchin' high, searchin' low 

Searchin' everywhere I know 

Askin' the cops wherever I go 

Have you seen dignity?

Blind man breakin' out of a trance 

Puts both his hands in the pockets of chance 

Hopin' to find one circumstance 

Of dignity 

 

I went to the wedding of Mary-lou 

She said 'I don't want nobody see me talkin' to you" 

Said she could get killed if she told me what she knew 

About dignity 

 

I went down where the vultures feed 

I would've got deeper, but there wasn't any need 

Heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men 

Wasn't any difference to me 

 

Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade 

House on fire, debts unpaid 

Gonna stand at the window, gonna ask the maid 

Have you seen dignity? 

 

Photos 

 

Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears 

In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors 

Lookin' into the lost forgotten years 

For dignity 

 

Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues 

Said he'd give me information if his name wasn't used 

He wanted money up front, said he was abused 

By dignity 

 

Footprints runnin' cross the silver sand 

Steps goin' down into tattoo land 

I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light 

In the bordertowns of despair 

 

Got no place to fade, got no coat 

I'm on the rollin' river in a jerkin' boat 

Tryin' to read a note somebody wrote 

About dignity 

 

Sick man lookin' for the doctor's cure 

Lookin' at his hands for the lines that were 

And into every masterpiece of literature 

for dignity 

 

Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind 

Combin' his hair back, his future looks thin 

Bites the bullet and he looks within 

For dignity 

 

Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed 

Dignity never been photographed 

I went into the red, went into the black 

Into the valley of dry bone dreams 

 

So many roads, so much at stake 

So many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake 

Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take 

To find dignity
