| Now that I’ve taken my life, hiding the dampenings
|
| Scouring the stubborn stains erasing them carefully
|
| Breaking the dreams of a life and interring them pray fully
|
| My telephone never stops ringing
|
| Now that I’ve taken my life
|
| Now that I’ve taken my life, pleading reality
|
| Mumbling moralities, and loosing the child I was
|
| Smiling my youth to the wall and recalling how wild I was
|
| I’m a very popular man
|
| Now that I’ve taken my life
|
| It was a foolish life I know ivory towered and quite out of touch
|
| It was a life that had to go I guess I won’t miss it much
|
| For the solid gold winners are standing in line
|
| And dangling a solid gold key
|
| They take me to dinner they pour me my wine
|
| They ask very little of me
|
| Now that I’ve taken my life, remembering the April air
|
| My hands in a cursory prayer my eyes and the crowd outside
|
| The music is merry the laughter is comfortably loud outside
|
| And the laughter I’m hearing is mine
|
| Now that I’ve taken my life
|
| It was a foolish life I know ivory towered and quite out of touch
|
| It was a life that had to go I guess I won’t miss it much
|
| For the solid gold women are standing in line
|
| And dangling a solid gold key
|
| The very best hostesses pour me my wine
|
| Extending their daughters to me
|
| Now that I’ve taken my life, hiding the dampenings
|
| Scouring the stubborn stains erasing them carefully
|
| Breaking the dreams of a life and interring them pray fully
|
| Ah there’s clearly no stopping me now
|
| Now that I’ve taken my life |
