I Live a Charmed Life

from Praise Box by The Plastic Arts

lyrics

Squandered all my love on a lady
Used up all my luck as a baby
I was saved from the cold of the casket
And placed in a basket of reeds
They carried me out of my port in the reeds to the court of the King
Bred to live a life that was special
Bound to be with all the potential
Now I'm in the back cutting rails
The unmistakable nails of its grip
I'm buggin out of my nose
To the end of my toes from the drip

Where went the road that I had underneath when I started
Wandered away from the path on the course that I charted
I made up my mind when I left
Knew the risk I could leave broken-hearted
Still blew a kiss and departed

Blame it on the way that they raise me
Soft from all the praise that they gave me
I grew up to have every advantage
And still barely manage to live
Unless the effort I need can be bought
I just know I ain't got it to give

Where went the role I was meant to have starred in
Wasted away for a taste and then kicked out the garden
I'm standing in line with the rest that the test of opportunity pardoned
She blew a kiss but then hardened

I'm eating the dust of the other contenders
I'm equally damned through defeat or surrender
I should've been raised to compete but I'm tender
And I can go down with the boat just long as I know I'm remembered
