It swallowed me alive I thought that I had died He flashed a winning smile And I was shattered No matter what he did I never called his bid He took me in his arms That's all that mattered
Always the same Different faces different names It doesn't change Just looking for someone to blame
Nobody fashions rules For parasites and fools I took the hand That offered me disaster But who can you believe When all they do is leave An' every tongue just seems To wag a little faster
I've been a traveler With joy and sorrow A rooster crows I am the builder of this road
