[00:18.89]Fat man lookin' in a blade of steel
[00:22.57]Thin man lookin' at his last meal
[00:25.93]Hollow man lookin' in a cottonfield
[00:29.77]For dignity
[00:34.32]Wise man lookin' in a blade of grass
[00:38.36]Young man lookin' in the shadows that pass
[00:42.51]Poor man lookin' through painted glass
[00:46.38]For dignity
[00:51.03]Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve
[00:54.87]Somebody said dignity was the first to leave
[00:58.87]I went into the city, went into the town
[01:02.82]Went into the land of the midnight sun
[01:09.60]Searchin' high, searchin' low
[01:13.73]Searchin' everywhere I know
[01:17.73]Askin' the cops wherever I go
[01:21.47]Have you seen dignity?
[01:42.33]Blind man breakin' out of a trance
[01:46.43]Puts both his hands in the pockets of chance
[01:50.45]Hopin' to find one circumstance
[01:54.54]Of dignity
[01:58.10]I went to the wedding of Mary-Lou
[02:02.19]She said "Don't want nobody see me talkin' to you"
[02:07.40]Said she could get killed if she told me what she knew
[02:11.07]About dignity
[02:15.87]I went down where the vultures feed
[02:19.53]I would've got deeper, but there wasn't any need
[02:23.35]Heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men
[02:26.94]Wasn't any difference to me
[02:34.12]Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade
[02:38.28]House on fire, debts unpaid
[02:42.58]Gonna stand at the window, gonna ask the maid
[02:46.50]Have you seen dignity?
[03:07.34]Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears
[03:11.31]In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors
[03:15.48]Lookin' into the lost forgotten years
[03:19.17]For dignity
[03:23.87]Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues
[03:28.17]Said he'd give me information if his name wasn't used
[03:31.54]He wanted money up front, said he was abused
[03:35.71]By dignity
[03:40.73]Footprints runnin' cross the sliver sand
[03:44.41]Steps goin' down into tattoo land
[03:48.02]I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light
[03:52.04]In the border towns of despair
[03:58.94]Got no place to fade, got no coat
[04:07.24]I'm on the rollin' river in a jerkin' boat
[04:08.02]Tryin' to read a note somebody wrote
[04:11.37]About dignity
[04:32.59]Sick man lookin' for the doctor's cure
[04:36.36]Lookin' at his hands for the lines that were
[04:40.30]And into every masterpiece of literature
[04:44.18]For dignity
[04:48.85]Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind
[04:53.08]Combin' his hair back, his future looks thin
[04:56.95]Bites the bullet and he looks within
[05:01.03]For dignity
[05:05.43]Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed
[05:09.69]Dignity never been photographed
[05:13.38]I went into the red, went into the black
[05:17.25]Into the valley of dry bone dreams
[05:24.07]So many roads, so much at stake
[05:28.15]So many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake
[05:31.85]Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take
[05:36.41]To find dignity
