Just when my life is moving slowly up a hill
Something happens and it's back in the dungeons
Is this my punishment for my past sins?
Take me away
I don't wanna stay
It's a useless life
Full of nothing but strife
So take me away
There is no reason why I should stay
Just when I'm floating up in the clouda
My luck turns around and I'm dropped to the ground
Life treats me no better than a hunter treats his hound
Take me away
I don't wanna stay
It's a useless life
Full of nothing but strife
So take me away
There is no reason why I should stay
Just when I think I've made it all the way
Something happens and I'm back to square one
Why do I deserve this, what have I done?
Take me away
I don't wanna stay
It's a useless life
Full of nothing but strife
So take me away
There is no reason why I should stay
Just when I think nothing could go wrong
Just as I think I've got it all
It's time for me to experience a fall
Take me away
I don't wanna stay
It's a useless life
Full of nothing but strife
So take me away
There is no reason why I should stay
Take me away
I don't wanna stay
It's a useless life
Full of nothing but strife
So take me away
There is no reason why I should stay
