Lyrics of A Disappearing Man

I've got this feeling that I don't understand
I feel like I'm a disappearing man

One day I was visiting my old home town
After too many years of never coming around
Walking to places that I used to go
I could see changes coming, they were starting to show

I was looking for the old five and dime store
But soon found out it wasn't there no more
It had become a super sized mega mall
Where you can buy anything, they have it all

Now you can't stop time-oh no oh no
But where are all the faces that I used to know?
The butcher, the baker, the shoe maker are gone
They had their day then it was time to move on

I got this feeling that I don't understand
I feel like I'm a disappearing man

The hill we went to, the one we called ours
Where we spent the summer gazing at the stars
We thought it would be there forever, now it is not
It has become a big corporation's parking lot

I tried to call you the other day
A voice said your number had gone away
It's like you just got up and ran
To me, you are, a disappearing man

I got this feeling I don't understand
I feel like I'm a disappearing man
A disappearing man
A disappearing man
A disappearing
