U (Man Like) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Justin Vernon]
Mmm, mmm
I will see you off now
Down the back of the ridge
There's just something that I got to show you
There is domer and there's rot
And the common case
It ain't nothing what you say is true
[Chorus: Justin Vernon, Jenn Wasner, & Elsa Jensen]
With your long arms, try
And just give some time
Presently, it does include my dues
Ain't your standard premonitions
All this phallic repetition
Boy, you tell yourself a tale or two
[Post-Chorus: Jenn Wasner, Moses Sumey, & Elsa Jensen]
Man like you
Man, improve
[Verse 2: Bruce Hornsby, (Moses Sumney), & Brooklyn Youth Chorus]
Well, I know that we set off for a common place
(And the lines have run too deep)
How much caring is there of some American love
When there's lovers sleeping in your streets?
[Chorus: Justin Vernon, Jenn Wasner, & Elsa Jensen]
So Cerberus Ride
Bring those dead alive
Like Pirate Jenny on the Black Freighter
It'll be a long day of fixing
Make something else your mission
Boy, why this shit's so hard to cue?
[Post-Chorus: Moses Sumney]
Man like you
How you do?
[Outro: Justin Vernon, Bruce Hornsby, Jenn Wasner, Elsa Jensen, & Moses Sumney]
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Hey
Mmm, mmm
I will see you off now
Down the back of the ridge
There's just something that I got to show you
There is domer and there's rot
And the common case
It ain't nothing what you say is true
With your long arms, try
And just give some time
Presently, it does include my dues
Ain't your standard premonitions
All this phallic repetition
Boy, you tell yourself a tale or two
Man like you
Man, improve
Well, I know that we set off for a common place
(And the lines have run too deep)
How much caring is there of some American love
When there's lovers sleeping in your streets?
So Cerberus Ride
Bring those dead alive
Like Pirate Jenny on the Black Freighter
It'll be a long day of fixing
Make something else your mission
Boy, why this shit's so hard to cue?
Man like you
How you do?
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
