DESCRIPTION:
Video by Kristiana Weseloh/KURS Films. Upright Man from the album Ormolu, by Rachel Taylor Brown.

UPRIGHT MAN
He takes a step and misses
And on his back, he notices
That all the people walking on
Are walking on him

He sees the soles, he sees the soles
And tells the future
He sinks and stinks and whispers
"I'm under you, I'm under you"

But I'm a good man, I'm an upright man
I'm a good man, I'm an upright man
I'm a good man, I'm an upright man
I'm a good man

The traffic never slows to let him up
He catches rain in a cup
He finds that he can move, but by degrees
The winter comes and

They're walking on his frozen knees
They're dropping shit and car keys
And it's too cold to cry
Poor guy

I'm a good man, I'm an upright man
I'm a good man, I'm an upright man
I'm a good man, I'm an upright man
I'm a good man

One lonely human paver in the square
All moss and grass and just a pair of eyes
I know you don't believe me but he's there

I know you don't believe me
I know you don't believe me
I know you don't believe me
