Letra Tin Man

La canción menciona la búsqueda de significado y realización en la América de los años 70, inspirada por una pintura que Dewey Bunnell vio durante una infancia pasada en bases aéreas del Reino Unido. La pintura en cuestión mostraba a un hombre hecho de hojalata o chapa de hierro, lo que despertó la imaginación de Bunnell y le recordó a los libros de El Mago de Oz, particularmente al Hombre de Hojalata, que anhelaba tener un corazón.


Sometimes late when things are real
And People share the gift of gab
Between themselves
Some are quick to take the bait
And catch the perfect prize
That waits among the shells

But Oz never did give nothing to the tin man
That he didn't already have
And cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

So please Believe in me

When I say I"m spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain'd dright colors
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsud green like bubbles
Oh--------------------------

So please believe in me

When I say I'm Spinning --etc.
That's it, enjoy
Mike
