My Life

(专辑： Rehearsals For Retirement - 1969)

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
