"I just finished a new book called THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN about this Civil
War Army doctor who went schizophrenic and delusional after the war and woke up one morning in a paranoid state, ran out into a street near London, and shot a guy. From his cell in a British mental ward he worked for 40 years and became one of the most important contributors to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first English dictionary to compile Every Single Word in the English
language." Scott Graves - Lyrics

Lyrics
Every single word has meaning
Every single one you know
Everything you know’s no more
Than something said before
Did you know I killed a man
Chased him from my room again
I accidentally pulled the trigger
Shot him down in summer’s heat
Can you listen, can you hear me
Hear the words that blast the shadows
Too late for him, too late for me
But maybe not too late
It was not the man I saw
Who’s hiding in my basement walls
Not the man who hid beneath
My bed in tattered overalls
It was just a man out walking
On his lonely way to work
But there I shot him on the street
And in my madness shot him dead
Can you listen, can you hear me
Hear the words that blast the shadows
Too late for him, too late for me
But maybe not too late
For every single one you know
For every single one you know
For every single one you know
For every single one you know
