story behind the song: whether wallowing in self pity or watching someone else do so, blame it on the muse
Lyrics
once upon some time
once upon some when
mumbling through the rhymes
with a piano as a friend
stumbling through the dialects
of chords and notes of then
once upon some life
once upon again
wandering through the wilds
and those nightmares of pretend
wondering if her smiles
really matched what was being said
sad sad little man
sad sad little man
and he even told her he loved her
hoped she might understand
but all he did was bother her
this sad little man
once upon some night
once upon some end
perhaps in what he was doing
through those echoes of neglect
while collapsing in their ruins
like some flower of regret
sad sad little man
sad sad little man
and he even told her he loved her
thought she might understand
but all he did was bother her
this sad little man
