Suzanne Vega - The man who played God - live

The very new song by Suzanne Vega in collaboration with Sparklehorse and Danger Mouse for their album Dark Night of the Soul. Inspired by a biography of Pablo Picasso.

Moscow, July 31


The lyrics written down by me (not native speaker), but should be quite close to the original:

Think about the world you know
Now, think of where it wants to go

All things living here around you
You can change them, rearrange them
In your life
If you love tales of transformation
Well, then, one-two-three, you could be
the Man who played God

Hammer until it breaks
To every shape what nature makes

All things you can see around you
You can change them, rearrange them
In your life
If you love tales of transformation
Well, then, one-two-three, you could be
The Man who played God

A girl becomes a bird or flower
In your strife you feel your power

All things you can see around you
You can change them, rearrange them
In your mind
If you love tales of transformation
Well, then, one-two-three, you could be
The Man who played God
One-two-three, you could be
The Man who played God
One-two-three, you could be
The Man who played God
