about

This is a funky folky number that was inspired, in part, by the theme to Sanford & Son (believe it or not!). See if you can pick out the subtle nod to a classic theme song...

lyrics

i never had the time for life before
i was always chasin' dimes rollin' on a dirty floor and now
i'm so tired and i can't remember the last time i cried
i'm so tired and i'm feelin' the tears well up in my eyes

all this time that i have wasted
tryin' to live somebody else's life
years and years...i couldn't save them
but there's always now and i'm gonna make it mine

i never had the time for love before
i was always chasin' lies not knowin' what i was doin' it for
now i'm so tired of bein' told how to live
i'm so tired of feelin' like i got nothin' to give

and its such a shame
oh and its so lame
day after day after day playin' the same old game and

all this time that i have wasted
tryin' to live somebody else's life
when i face my fears, its better than living
all alone in a house of mirrors
...alone in a house of mirrors...

now i don't have the time to fight anymore
everybody's counting lives waiting on the end of the war now
and i'm so tired and i can't remember the last time i cried
i'm so tired and i'm feelin' the tears well up in my eyes

once again its such a shame
oh and its so lame
ooooooh playin the same old game and...

all this time that i have wasted
tryin' to live somebody else's life
years and years...i couldn't save them
but there's always now and i'm gonna make it mine
oooh all this time that i have wasted
tryin' to live somebody else's life
when i face my fears, its better than living
all alone in a house of mirrors
better than living all alone in a house of mirrors
much better than living all alone in a house of mirrors
...alone in a house of mirrors
