Like a monkey grinds his cage, like a woman mourns her age
I made a deal with every pleasure left below the sun.
Now I don't need no great adventure but I could use a little fun.
A nobody dragged upon the stage plays a fool for everyone.
I can't get a thing for my soul.
It will always ache as the heavens expand,
But my body on the other hand
Aches in a way I can understand.
In the darkest form of love's revenge, in the faintest light where sorrow ends,
There was never hesitation on my part.
Time proceeds relentlessly and my looks ain't what they used to be.
And fate has made a fortress of my heart.
Now I don't need no great adventure but I could use a little fun.
