Life is nothing but a bag of sorrow, 
nothing left to do but bag and borrow.
I’m never going to see my name in lights, 
it doesn’t really matter, I’m afraid of heights.
Give me an inch and I’ll take a mile, 
I look in the mirror and see the Devil’s smile.

CHORUS1	Now I’ve got what I’ve always sought, I’ve got a saftey line.
	I tried to fight, but Mom was right, I’m only built to fail.

I don’t want to think of the life Hereafter.
I see the word but I hear God’s laughter.
What’s the point if you’re just gonna die.
Doesn’t even make you want to try.
Birds spend months on cozy nests 
but they always make another in the coming year next.

CHORUS1
CHORUS2	I’ve always worn my thorny crown much too well.

BREAK		I am a prisoner of safety, I am given to flights of fancy 
		Grant me the power to escape and I will. 
		Cos I am the man that the boy made me(x2)

Life ain’t nothing but a bag of sorrow, 
nothing left to do but beg and borrow.
I’m never going to see my name in lights, 
it doesn’t really matter, I’m afraid of heights. 
I feel like a fish whose swallowed the worm. 
He’s done it before but he never ever learns.

CHORUS2
