[00:17.68]Fat man lookin’ in a blade of steel
[00:22.23]Thin man lookin’ at his last meal
[00:25.96]Hollow man lookin’ in a cottonfield
[00:29.90]For dignity
[00:34.75]Wise man lookin’ in a blade of grass
[00:38.70]Young man lookin’ in the shadows that pass
[00:42.42]Poor man lookin’ through painted glass
[00:46.55]For dignity
[00:51.38]Someone got murdered on New Year’s Eve
[00:55.21]Someone said dignity was the first to leave
[00:57.40]I went into the city, went into the town
[01:03.24]Went into the land of the midnight sun
[01:09.63]Searchin’ high, searchin’ low
[01:13.46]Searchin’ everywhere I know
[01:17.79]Askin’ the cops wherever I go
[01:22.02]Have you seen dignity?
[01:42.68]Blind man breakin’ out of a trance
[01:46.81]Puts both his hands in the pockets of chance
[01:50.88]Hopin’ to find one circumstance
[01:54.61]Of dignity
[01:59.18]I went to the wedding of Mary Lou
[02:03.10]She said, “I don’t want nobody see me talkin’ to you”
[02:07.47]Said she could get killed if she told me what she knew
[02:11.01]About dignity
[02:15.86]I went down where the vultures feed
[02:19.81]I would’ve gone deeper, but there wasn’t any need
[02:23.43]Heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men
[02:27.45]Wasn’t any difference to me
[02:32.62]Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade
[02:37.35]House on fire, debts unpaid
[02:41.80]Gonna stand at the window, gonna ask the maid
[02:45.60]Have you seen dignity?
[03:06.77]Drinkin’ man listens to the voice he hears
[03:10.50]In a crowded room full of covered-up mirrors
[03:14.72]Lookin’ into the lost forgotten years
[03:18.24]For dignity
[03:23.09]Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues
[03:27.11]Said he’d give me information if his name wasn’t used
[03:30.63]He wanted money up front, said he was abused
[03:34.96]By dignity
[03:39.80]Footprints runnin’ ’cross the silver sand
[03:43.82]Steps goin’ down into tattoo land
[03:47.35]I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light
[03:51.48]In the bordertowns of despair
[03:58.33]Got no place to fade, got no coat
[04:02.45]I’m on the rollin’ river in a jerkin’ boat
[04:06.28]Tryin’ to read a note somebody wrote
[04:10.80]About dignity
[04:31.75]Sick man lookin’ for the doctor’s cure
[04:35.67]Lookin’ at his hands for the lines that were
[04:39.61]And into every masterpiece of literature
[04:43.64]For dignity
[04:48.16]Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind
[04:52.08]Combin’ his hair back, his future looks thin
[04:56.10]Bites the bullet and he looks within
[05:00.64]For dignity
[05:04.47]Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed
[05:08.70]Dignity never been photographed
[05:12.63]I went into the red, went into the black
[05:16.34]Into the valley of dry bone dreams
[05:23.28]So many roads, so much at stake
[05:27.31]So many dead ends, I’m at the edge of the lake
[05:31.24]Sometimes I wonder what it’s gonna take
[05:35.46]To find dignity
