lyrics

THE TRAGIC TALE OF A GENIUS

Life's going to break me down, time after time
if I can't stop, leave it all behind
I'm a star crossed Sixties, out of control
I took a drug trip and never returned
« Wasted Time, It never stops
Distorted mind, Out of control »
I had a house, a wife, children and cars
I was a king who lost his kingdom
I was famous and rich, (a) genius in music
thousand of fans adored me and cried
«Don't Waste your time, Just free your mind
Control your life, Don't look behind
Black is White, Open your eyes, Life is not dark,
Be a Man, Wake up now
There's still Mojo inside »
Oh Oh Oh I may never change , It all depends on me
Ain't got no more pain, no tricks, no power, no fuel
I lost my skills, it's burning inside
I lost my voice, my brain, my fingers can't play
I see all in black, waiting for the night
I had glory and money, women and wine
Now I stink, I'm sick and I'm tired,
I drag my feet all day...I Can't write a line
There's no light left shining in my eyes
Life's going to break me down, time after time
if I can't stop, leave it all behind
I'm a star crossed Sixties, out of control
I took a drug trip and never returned
Mirror, Mirror,
When I'm looking at you
I don't see a soul
