I never knew what a man was supposed to be
I never wanted the responsibility
I still remember what they tried to make of me
They used to wonder what they couldnt get through to me,
Cauce all that I had as this music
A-coming to me
And all that I had was this rhythm
A-running through me.
I took a tip from the man in the ministry
He said, my son, better work in the factory
Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly
I saw myself winding up in the military
So lucky to have all this music
A-coming to me
Im lucky to have all this rhythm
A-running through me
Im watching the movie go down
Around, about me
Im watching the marry-go-round
Go down about me.
I said, lovers, youre needed in the garden
cauce theres a lot of crazy people
Whove forgotten where their heart is
And they dont give a damn
About hurting those flowers and those trees.
Cest le bon, sailing on and on...
Sometimes I wonder where my life is taking me
Sometimes I wonder what they all expect of me
Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly
I saw myself winding up in the monastery
Cauce all that I have is this music
A-coming to me
And all that I have is this rhythm
A-running through me
Im watching the movie go down
Around, about me
Im watching the marry-go-round
Go down about me.
I said, lovers, you're needed in the garden
Cauce theres a lot of crazy people
Whove forgotten where their heart is
And they dont give a damn
About hurting that small child in me.
Cest le bon, sailing on and on...
