Bonnie Prince Billy

Bonnie Prince Billy - My Life lyrics

rate me

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
