Frustrated artist are you afraid of your own reflection?
It's only you.
Like I said when your dead you'll be gone it won't take long.
Till you're through
You can't win trying it begins with a sperm
Your past lives behind you
To start a new a man must be born again so it was said
And it could happen to you
No matter what you do no matter who you are it's always you
It's true
It's up to you
And at the end of every day you may remember the good times
Your living for today
And there you are a star living your life like never before
You made the big time at last
Now death awaits for you so patiently frustrated artist
From the past
Everyone should do art
Everyone should be an artist
Guitarist
Express yourself
And every poet that ever was down thru the ages as they sang
And they told me love was the best
And we all live on
Waiting the sun to come
And we all live on
Trying to get the job done
Throughout eternity
It's always you and me
And we all live on
On and on.
