The Backyard Of My Life
Midnight Rider On A Cloud Of Smoke
I am just a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke
A day dream believer burned out and broke
My wishes are worthless and buried at the bottom of the sea
Down the back of the track i walk home alone
A stranger invisible like a rolling stone
My dreams have been dashed
And my money was never really mine
But every happy ever after has a once upon a time
I wonder why am here and what its all about
Try to keep it all but gotta let it all out
I am just a morning gambler on a shooting star
Lost in a glass down at the liars bar
With tales of torment torture misery and woo
With the flip of a coin i am easy come easy go
With my fantasies failed punished for no crime
But every happy ever after has a once upon a time
I wonder why i am here and will things work out right
Surrounded by darkness looking for the light
I am just a soldier of love on a battle field
The war is over and my fate has been sealed
My faith and my hopes have been blown away with the wind
With my wings both broken i'll never touch the sky
Maybe some birds just were not meant to fly
But selfish and stubborn and determined to try
Bask in the glory of the sunshine
But every happy ever after has a once upon a time
I wonder why i am here and what to do now
If theres a god will he help me some how
I am just a fallen angel on a cosmic wave
Stuck in a moment a prisoner a slave
Held back by gravity dragged down with weight
And my time is up and now its to late
I look through the looking glass its as clear as mud
I guess the master plan worked out the way that it should
My head is hung over and its the end of the line
But every happy ever after has a once upon a time
I wonder why am here and what its all about
Try to keep it all in but it sometimes slips out
