My friend, well he walked me down these roads I've never known,
The salvation of my soul, myself the only goal.
There were pleasures I thought I'd seen, some I never knew,
There were people dressed in rainments of an uncertain hue.
The chances I thought I'd had, many I'd missed,
There were devils bearing gifts and angels on the piss.
For my sins I will confess and I will never lie.
There's nobody that was ever here that's never wondered why,
And I've lived my life the best, every second to defy.
Will nobody that was ever here grieve me when I die?
On the first day I met myself coming back from the third;
I believed in what I was doing, I swallowed every word.
Every word that I was told by the Great and the Good,
I bit the poisoned apple 'cause I felt that I should.
For my sins I will confess and I will never lie.
There's nobody that was ever here that's never wondered why,
And I've lived my life the best, every second to defy.
Will nobody that was ever here grieve me when I die?
When I die ..
And now that I come to it, I can recall
what it was I achieved just before my fall.
I saw visions of ugliness, I visited shame,
But I know should I come to it
I'd do it all again.
For my sins I will confess and I will never lie.
There's nobody that was ever here that's never wondered why,
And I've lived my life the best, every second to defy.
Will nobody that was ever here grieve me when I die?
'Cause I've lived my life the best, every second to defy.
Will nobody that was ever here grieve me when I die?
When I die ..
And will nobody that was ever here grieve me when I die?..
