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 couldn't get through to me,

'cauce all that I had as this music

A-coming to me

Andall 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

I'm lucky to have all this rhythm

A-running through me

I'm watching the movie go down

Around, about me

I'm watching the marry-go-round

Go down about me.

I said, "lovers, you're needed in the garden

'cauce there's a lot of crazy people

Who've forgotten where their heart is

And they don't give a damn

About hurting those flowers and those trees."

C'est 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

I'm watching the movie go down

Around, about me

I'm watching the marry-go-round

Go down about me.

I said, "lovers, you're needed in the garden

'cauce there's a lot of crazy people

Who've forgotten where their heart is

And they don't give a damn

About hurting that small child in me."

C'est le bon, sailing on and on...
