sonnerie téléphone portable pour My life
Video clip

My life was once a joy to me
Never knowing, i was growing, every day
My life was once a toy to me
And i wound it and i found it, ran away

So, i raced through the night with a face at my feet
Like a god i would write, all the melodies were sweet
And the women were white, it was easy to survive
My life was so alive

My life was once a flag to me
And i waved it and behaved like i was told
My life was once a drag to me
And i loudly and i proudly lost control

I was drawn by a dream, i was loved by a lie
Every serf on the scene begged me to buy
But i slipped through the scheme, so lucky to fail
My life was not for sale

My life is now a myth to me
Like the drifter, with his laughter in the dawn
My life is now a death to me
So, i'll mold it and i'll hold it till i'm born

So, i turned to the land where i'm so out of place
Throw a curse on the plan in return for the grace
To know where i stand, take everything i own
Take your tap from my phone and leave my life alone

My life alone
