Two steps forward, And ten steps back.
I see clouds these days, Where’s the light?
The soldier approaches with a machine gun, What a terrible sight!
“Going where?” He says: “Take a step back!”
My fate is out of my hands,
No one understands my way of life!
But in my hand is a glass of whiskey, And it still doesn’t quench me!
Pour another glass, Roll a cigarette,
Maybe I’ll forget this mockery.
Maybe I’ll forget this mockery, I feel like I keep going backward.
For two years I’ve been depressed, Down and out!
Have I been cursed by the eye? Or am I imagining? Someone explain!
What’s next? What more? Where’s the sweet escape?
Where am I going? My brain is tired! My patience is over
