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
