Well I don't believe what I've been told. A young man died cos he was scared of growing old. He laid down dead in the falling snow. Well I don't believe what I've been told.
Oh Man I think I'm going insane, I tell you,. Sitting here watching David Blaine, I tell you,. Got me thinking, just who is to blame, I tell you,. I'm just falling I'm choc full of shame, I tell you,.
