One of my most fave Van songs...him at his soulful best. The lyrics knock me out. Youre not supposed to be human Youre not supposed to really feel Not supposed to get involved with Anything completely real Fifteen families starving All around the corner block Here were standing so alone Just like Gibraltar rock Not supposed to break down Youre not supposed to break down Swallow the dirt, keep listening to the hurt Youll be safe and sound Supposed to be super human Cover everything Just like a bird Cover an egg with its wing And knowing theres nothing sacred And what is the use No point trying to find What is worth, what is true Not supposed to break down Youre not supposed to break down Swallow the hurt, listen to the dirt And youll be safe and sound Youre not supposed to break down Youre not supposed to break down Swallow the hurt, listen to the dirt Youll be safe and sound A fool and his mainline connection Bypass going to the well But that doesnt matter anymore Im sure that we can tell Whos a puppet on a string An who really holds the glove But it aint up, you and me Its up to the Lord above Youre not supposed to break down Youre not supposed to break down Swallow the hurt, keep on listening to the dirt And Ill bet youll be safe and sound Youre not supposed to break down Youre not supposed to break down Swallow the hurt, listen to the dirt Ill bet youll be safe and sound And Ill bet youll be safe and sound And Ill bet youll be safe and sound Bet youll be safe and sound
