Many Too Many

Many, too many have stood where I stand

Many more will stand here too

I think what I find strange is the way you built me up

Then knocked me down again

The part was fun but now it's over

Why can't I just leave the stage?

Maybe that's because you securely locked me up

Then threw away the key

Oh, mama

Please, would you find the key

Oh, pretty mama

Please, won't you let me go free

I thought I was lucky

I thought that I'd got it made

How could I be so blind?

You said goodbye on a corner

That I thought led to the straight

You set me on a firmly laid and simple course

Then removed the road

Oh, mama

Please help me find my way

Oh, pretty mama

Please lead me through the next day

I thought I was lucky

Oh, I thought that I'd got it made

How could I be so blind?

Oh, no
