  • [Verse 1]
    I don't know where I have been lately
    I found myself in somewhere strange
    The devil took me underwater
    He filled my lungs so I could change

    [Chorus]
    My God, how did I get here without
    My God, someone always has to be the man
    (Mariana, are you there?)

    [Verse 2]
    The ice was forming all around me
    The plants were climbing me for light
    I fell into the Mariana
    I was a mirror for the night

    [Chorus]
    My God, how did I get here without
    My God, someone always has to be the man
    The man
    I know
    You have
    You have to be
    Or not to be
    The man
    The man
    I know
    You have
    You have to be
    The man
    You have
    You have to be
    To be
    The man
