"The Encyclopedia Salesman"

[00:21.42] ....

[00:21.42] At the back of my brain is a man

[00:26.26] I remember him clearly though no one else can

[00:30.86] In his suitcase

[00:34.88] He showed me the world

[00:41.29] And I had a vision so grand

[00:46.31] All that there is at the palm of my hand

[00:50.32] I'll write off all the battles and wars

[00:55.84] Erasing human scars

[01:00.75] ....

[01:00.75] All day he's knocking doors all over cities

[01:06.77] Under heat from 9 to 5

[01:11.28] The load is heavy, he's got a family

[01:16.80] Hoping only to survive

[01:21.32] 1 out of 20 and his light is glowing dim

[01:30.49] He promised me tomorrow

[01:32.75] But I can't do the same for him

[01:37.01] ....

[01:44.93] The man took a seat at our table

[01:49.70] He laid out the pages until I was able to find myself

[01:57.37] In between the words

[02:04.80] He made a deal with my father

[02:09.46] Letter to letter my mind wanders farther

[02:13.98] They shake their hands

[02:16.52] And off he goes again

[02:21.04] ....

[02:23.80] All day he's knocking doors all over cities

[02:30.08] Under heat from 9 to 5

[02:34.59] The load is heavy, he's got a family

[02:39.87] Hoping only to survive

[02:44.38] 1 out of 20 and his light is going dim

[02:53.81] He promised me tomorrow

[02:55.94] But I can't do the same for him

[02:59.72] ....

[03:02.36] Oh, I heard screaming next door

[03:04.86] Nobody needs this anymore

[03:07.37] Somebody's slamming the door

[03:09.88] Nobody reads this anymore

[03:12.39] Whatever happened to him

[03:15.40] ....

[03:22.98] All day he's knocking doors all over cities

[03:29.26] Under heat from 9 to 5

[03:33.52] The load is heavy, he's got a family

[03:39.05] Hoping only to survive

[03:43.57] 1 out of 20 and his light is going dim

[03:52.60] He promised me tomorrow

[03:54.85] But I can't do the same for him
