Let me tell you 'bout a boy I know He never reached his aims, he had to hope Passed the years by hard working And his tears like stones are falling Didn't get the jump Was in a kind of trance In a space of nowhere Placed in a determined order So he sold his soul Still not overgrown Never caught the top And he failed the crop So he sold his soul Still not overgrown Never caught the top When he failed the crop The boy avoided the important stations Cause he knew he would miss the train Got stuck in a hole of desperation While climbing out he's falling down again Couldn't stand the pain Was forced to leave the lane Couldn't shed his burden He ended with a fallin' curtain So he sold his soul Still not overgrown Never caught the top And he failed the crop So he sold his soul Still not overgrown Never caught the top When he failed the crop So he sold his soul Still not overgrown Never caught the top And he failed the crop So he sold his soul Still not overgrown Never caught the top When he failed the crop
