- The Glowing Man Lyrics / with translationsHe's a real go-getter, getter
He's a real heartbreaker, breaker
He's a real head-splitter, splitter
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
He's a real mean keeper, keeper
He's a real deep teacher, teacher
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO: YES
Joseph is standing behind my back
Joseph is digging his hands in my chest
Joseph is drinking the light in my lung
Joseph is moving his tounge in my neck
Joseph is riding a vein in my head
Joseph is cutting my arm on his bed
Joseph is making my body fly
JOSEPH IS MAKING MY BODY FLY!
Joseph is me and you are a liar!
Joseph is me and you are a liar!
I am a Glowing Man I am!
I am a growing, Glowing Man!
I am a Glowing Man I am!
I am a growing, Glowing Man!
I am a nothing, No-Thing man!
I am a nothing, No-Thing Man
I am a growing, Glowing Man!
I am a growing, Glowing Man!
I am a no no no no no No-Thing Man!
I am a no no no no no No-Thing Man!
"What is, is what?"
He's a real heartbreaker, breaker
He's a real head-splitter, splitter
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
He's a real mean keeper, keeper
He's a real deep teacher, teacher
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO: YES
Joseph is standing behind my back
Joseph is digging his hands in my chest
Joseph is drinking the light in my lung
Joseph is moving his tounge in my neck
Joseph is riding a vein in my head
Joseph is cutting my arm on his bed
Joseph is making my body fly
Joseph is me and you are a liar!
Joseph is me and you are a liar!
I am a Glowing Man I am!
I am a growing, Glowing Man!
I am a Glowing Man I am!
I am a growing, Glowing Man!
I am a nothing, No-Thing man!
I am a nothing, No-Thing Man
I am a growing, Glowing Man!
I am a growing, Glowing Man!
I am a no no no no no No-Thing Man!
I am a no no no no no No-Thing Man!
"What is, is what?"
