|
Got a grand house out in the country. |
|
Marble pillars holding the door. |
|
Empty bottles lining the wall from the night before. |
|
Got a roller out in the garage. |
|
But the wheels are stuck to the floor. |
|
Got no reason to go anywhere--no friends call anymore. |
|
I don't want to be me, i don't want to be me, |
|
I know it's hard to see, but i don't want to be me. |
|
Had me playing down at the palace. |
|
I was declared the belle of the ball. |
|
Made the boys take my goods and chattels away-- |
|
Now i'm staring at an empty hall. |
|
I don't want to be me. |
|
Pardon me--i'm on my way. |
|
Pardon me but i'm going. |
|
Taking on the simple life and i feel the grass roots growing. |
|
I'm going to ride the ragged road-- |
|
Diamond spurs jangling into the sunset. |
|
No circuits running overload--well maybe i'm not done yet. |
|
Now there's nothing left in the cupboard |
|
And three bears' been eating my soup. |
|
My life is one big critical mess if you take a look. |
|
And the butler's off in ibiza on expense account gone berserk. |
|
But i can't check out of this crazy world |
|
Without being a jerk--i don't want to be me. |
