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 bone and leave my life alone My life alone
