Portugal The Man

60 Years

Portugal The Man


The boy looks high
He looks higher than the sky
You can see it in his eyes
Watch as he tries

And the city never lets him go
So he never tries
The city never lets you go
So you never try

He's bigger than a breadbox
In cis California
His path was on the parks
Running gun it to Houston

The city was a shotgun
Ending in sunshine
But the sunshine never ends
So he never tries

Well we dug a hole
Filled it up with other holes, in these other holes
We found a home
Hid away our hungry men

If it takes us sixty years I'll go

The boy looks high
Looks higher than the sky
You can see it in his eyes
Watch how he cries

The path was on a straight line
Church street to Houston
Houston to the Butte
Coming straight back to Houston

Well we dug a hole
Filled it up with other holes, in these other holes
We dug a hole
And buried all those hungry men (all those hungry men)

If it takes us sixty years
If it takes us sixty years

If it takes us sixty years I'll
Dig a hole and I'll find the fire
If it takes us sixty years I'll
Dig another hole

(If it takes us sixty years
If it takes us sixty years I'll
If it takes us sixty years I'll)

Well we found a hole
We found it with some other holes and we climbed inside
We climbed back out
We left them by the hungry men, all the hungry men

If it takes us sixty years I'll
Dig a hole and I'll find the fire
If it takes us sixty years I'll
Dig another hole

He got it in his head he made
More money than the straight man, the straight man
He got it in his head, he made
More money than the straight man

He got it in his head he made
More than the straight man, the straight man
He got it in his head he made
More than the straight man (Straight man)

The boy looks high
Looks higher than the sky

(If it takes us sixty years)

The city never lets him go
So he never tries
The city never lets him go
So he never tries

(If it takes us sixty years I'll)
Filled it up with other holes, in these other holes
(If it takes us sixty years I'll)
Hid away our hungry men

The boy looks high
The boy looks high
The boy looks high
The boy looks high (If it takes us)
The boy looks high (If it takes us sixty)
The boy looks high (If it takes us sixty)
The boy looks high (If it takes us sixty)
The boy looks high (If it takes us sixty)
The boy looks high
Boy looks high

If it takes us sixty years I'll
Dig a hole and I'll find the fire
If it takes us sixty years I'll
Dig another hole

He got it in his head he made
More money than the straight man, the straight man
(He got) He got it in his head (he made)
He made more money than the straight man
(More money than the straight man)

He got it in his head he made
More than the straight man, the straight man
He got it in his head he made
More than the straight man (Straight man)
