Life’s One Act Play

Youlden-Chrysalis Music Ltd
My days are shaded gray
And my nights are shaded blue
My face is lined with worry
And my mind is split in two

Feel just like a man
Who's last real hope is gone
Morality and religion
Didn't teach me right from wrong

And I need a little something
Oh, just to mellow my days
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
In lifes one act play

The world is changing fast
Ain't got time to think twice
Wanna keep on the ball
Then you got to pay the price
You can't judge the future
By looking at the past
And there ain't nobody out there
Who you can stop and ask

Oh, I need a little something
Just to mellow my days
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
In lifes one act play

Some people think, oh yes they do
They found the way
But they're a dime a dozen
You can see them everyday
Some people are happy
In their delusions
Oh, I wish sometimes
I could share, I could share their illusions

But nobody really knows
What this life is all about
Those who think they do
Are the ones who should have doubts
Sometimes I wonder
What they are going to do
When their cozy dreams are shattered
And reality shows through

Oh, I need a little something
Just to mellow my days
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
In lifes one act play

And I need a little something
Just to mellow my days
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
In lifes one act play
In lifes one act play
In lifes one act play
In lifes one act play
