1
My life was once a joy to me,
2
Never knowing, I was growing, everyday.
3
My life was once a toy to me,
4
And I wound it and I found it ran away.
5
So I raced through the night
6
With a face at my feet, like a God I would write,
7
All the melodies were sweet, and the women were white.
8
It was easy to survive, my life was so alive.
9
My life was once a flag to me
10
And I waved it and behaved like I was told.
11
My life was once a drag to me
12
And I loudly, and I proudly, lost control
13
I was drawn by a dream
14
I was loved by a lie, every serf on the scene
15
Begged me to buy.
16
But I slipped through the scheme
17
So lucky to fail
18
My life was not for sale.
19
My life is now a myth to me
20
Like the drifter, with his laughter in the dawn.
21
My life is now a death to me
22
So I'll mold it and I'll hold it till I'm born
23
So I turned to the land
24
Where I'm so out of place
25
Throw a curse on the plan
26
In return for the grace
27
To know where I stand
28
Take everything I own
29
Take your tap from my bone
30
And leave my life alone.
31
My life alone.
