For you're an also-ran
flash in the pan
In the shadows of the question mark man

Alone I stand
without a plan
In the shadows of the question mark man
I play his game
say his name
find out later that I'm to blame

Do you ever think of Mary
Do your thoughts still make you cry
Do you ever think of tearing out your eyes

Prepare to land
Down in the sand
Right at the feet of the question mark man
Deserve your fate
be not late
The time is not yours
don't make him wait

'Cause he is not your fan
bow if you can
Right at the feet of the question mark man
he won't take your shit
no, not one bit
not even if you ask him nice

Do you ever speak to Nancy
Do you think it's worth your while
Do you ever think of choking on your smile

Alone I stand
without a plan
In the shadows of the question mark man
I play his game
say his name
find out later that I'm to blame

For you're an also-ran
flash in the pan
In the shadows of the question mark man

A short-sleeve tan
a no-name brand
You've got nothing on the question mark man
So eat your pride
down the slide
to the place called the other side
