My Life |
| My life was once a joy to me |
| Never knowing, I was growing, every day |
| My life was once a toy to me |
| And I wound it and I found it ran away |
| So, I raced through the night |
| With a face at my feet, like a god I would write |
| All the melodies were sweet, and the women were white |
| It was easy to survive, my life was so alive |
| My life was once a flag to me |
| And I waved it and behaved like I was told |
| My life was once a drag to me |
| And I loudly and I proudly lost control |
| I was drawn by a dream, I was loved by a lie |
| Every serf on the scene begged me to buy |
| But I slipped through the scheme |
| So lucky to fail, my life was not for sale |
| My life is now a myth to me |
| Like the drifter, with his laughter in the dawn |
| My life is now a death to me |
| So I’ll mold it and I’ll hold it till I’m born |
| So I turned to the land where I’m so out of place |
| Throw a curse on the plan in return for the grace |
| To know where I stand |
| Take everything I own |
| Take your tap from my phone |
| And leave my life alone |
| My life alone |
