many too many

Genesis

Many too many have stood where I stand
Many more will stand here too,
But 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 though 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 though led to the straight,
You set me on a firmly laid and simple course
And then removed the road.

Oh mama,
please help me find the way.
Oh pretty mama,
please lead ne through the next day.
I through I was lucky
I through that I´d got it made.
How could I be so blind?
