Many
  too many have stood where I stand
  Many more will stand there too
  But I think what I find strange is the way you built me up
  Then knocked me down again
  
  The part was fun but now it's over
  Why can't I just leave the stage?
  Maybe that's because you securely locked me up
  Then threw away the key
  
  Oh mama
  Please would you find the key
  Oh pretty mama
  Please won't you let me go free
  I thought I was lucky
  I thought that I'd got it made
  How could I be so blind?
  
  You said goodbye on a corner
  That I thought led to the straight
  You set me on a firmly laid and simple course
  And then removed the road
  
  Oh mama
  Please help me find the way
  Oh pretty mama
  Please lead me through the next day
  I thought I was lucky
  I thought that I'd got it made
  How could I be so blind?
