Intro: ’’ ’ ’ repeat 3 times ’’’ ’’’’ Got a grand house out in the country. Marble pillars holding the door. Empty bottles lining the wall from the night before. Got a Roller out in the garage. But the wheels are stuck to the floor. Got no reason to go anywhere -- no friends call anymore. I don’t want to be me I don’t want to be me I know it’s hard to see but I don’t want to be me. Had me playing down at the palace. I was declared the belle of the ball. Made the boys take my goods and chattels away -- now I’m staring at an empty hall. I don’t want to be me I don’t want to be me I know it’s hard to see but I don’t want to be me. Pardon me -- I’m on my way. Pardon me but I’m going. Taking on the simple life and I feel the grass roots growing. I’m going to ride the ragged road diamond spurs jangling into the sunset. No circuits running overload -- Well maybe I’m not done yet. Now there’s nothing left in the cupboard and three bears’ been eating my soup. My life is one big critical mess if you take a look. And the butler’s off in Ibiza -- on expense account gone berserk. But I can’t check out of this crazy world without being a jerk. I don’t want to be me I don’t want to be me I know it’s hard to see but I don’t want to be me. Pardon me -- I’m on my way. Pardon me but I’m going. Taking on the simple life and I feel the grass roots growing. I’m going to ride the ragged road diamond spurs jangling into the sunset. No circuits running overload -- Well maybe I’m not done yet. Well maybe I’m not done yet.
