My Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 'til 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
