Now that I've taken my life, hiding the dampenings   Scouring the stubborn stains erasing them carefully.   Breaking the dreams of a life and interring them pray fully   My telephone never stops ringing   Now that I've taken my life      Now that I've taken my life, pleading reality   Mumbling moralities, and loosing the child I was.   Smiling my youth to the wall and recalling how wild I was   I'm a very popular man   Now that I've taken my life      It was a foolish life I know ivory towered and quite out of touch   It was a life that had to go I guess I won't miss it much.   For the solid gold winners are standing in line   And dangling a solid gold key   They take me to dinner they pour me my wine   They ask very little of me      Now that I've taken my life, remembering the April air   My hands in a cursory prayer my eyes and the crowd outside   The music is merry the laughter is comfortably loud outside   And the laughter I'm hearing is mine   Now that I've taken my life      It was a foolish life I know ivory towered and quite out of touch   It was a life that had to go I guess I won't miss it much.   For the solid gold women are standing in line   And dangling a solid gold key   The very best hostesses pour me my wine   Extending their daughters to me      Now that I've taken my life, hiding the dampenings   Scouring the stubborn stains erasing them carefully.   Breaking the dreams of a life and interring them pray fully   Ah there's clearly no stopping me now   Now that I've taken my life.
