You Can Call Me Cloud (Apologies to Paul Simon)

A man walks down the street
He says, Why am I stuck in the middle now?
Why am I stuck in the middle of
Sector Seven of Midgard?
I need a second opportunity;
I wanna blow up reactors.
Don't want to be a SOLDIER
In a Shinra graveyard.
Heidegger's, Heidegger's
'Bots in the street fight,
Crushing down the unwashed poor.
Mr. Hojo, Hojo,
Get these clones away from me! Ya know
I don't find Sephiroth amusing any more.

I am Aeris' Bodyguard
And may be Tifa's long-lost pal.
I can call you Barret,
And Barret, when you call me,
You can call me Cloud.

A man walks down the steet he says,
Why have I got no connection?
All of my past's an invention;
My self-image is wrong.
What happened at Nibelheim? Why
Didn't I die there?
Who'll be my role model
Now that my role model's
Gone? Gone.
He tried to challenge Sephiroth; his
Name was Zack, but I think I'm him.
It's all wrong, wrong.
MAKO's damaged my intelligence
And my life's imagination,

But I am Aeris' Bodyguard
And may be Tifa's long-lost pal.
I can call you Barret,
And Barret, when you call me,
You can call me Cloud.
Call me Cloud.

A man walks down the street,
It's a street of a live world.
Maybe it's not his world.
Maybe it's the Ancients' home town.
He tries to speak to Aeris
Praying mightily
To stop the Meteor.
He is confounded by the
Cells, cells
In control of Sephiroth.
Hojo claimed that's all he is.
MAKO wells, wells,
He sees Tifa in the Earth's Lifestream.
Giving him his memory.
He says "Holy!" and "White Materia!"

And I am Aeris' Bodyguard
And may be Tifa's long-lost pal.
I can call you Barret,
And Barret, when you call me,
You can call me Cloud.
