My man
Muscles from hand to foot
Completely coated in uninterrupted skin

My man
Signals command
The leg to follow orders coming down from headquarters


Why then
Am I in bed

I guess my man's fallen out with my head

May I direct your attention to the following simile

You're like the coasts of an ocean
Buried beneath is a submarine cable
Connecting the opposite shores that surround it


My man
How can he stand

Your fingers could encircle clear around the ankle

My man

Won't walk again
In conflict with express instructions given by the brain


Why can't
The message be sent
I guess my man's fallen out with my head


When something happens to drag on the floor of the ocean
For instance, an anchor or mooring

The cable can be disrupted, and even be severed
Which halts the transmission across it


There is no way to repair the break.

My man

Muscles from hand to foot
Completely coated in uninterrupted skin


My man
Signals command
The leg to follow orders coming down from headquarters


My man
How can he stand


My man
Muscles from hand to foot

Completely coated in uninterrupted skin (my man)
My man won't walk again
