If you want I'll sell you a life story About a man who's at loggerheads with his past all the time He's alive and living in purgatory All he's doing is rooming up in hotels And scooping up lots of wine There was once a boy of life He took his share of everywhere But he never took a wife... He was born to live like a mercenary Well personally I think that's fine If you're in the right mind He was burned by the twentieth century Kick your heels in the killing fields
