Genesis Many Too Many Lyrics

Many Too Many Lyrics

Many too many have stood where I stand
Many more will stand here too,
I think what I find strange is the way you built me up
Then knocked me down again.
The part was fun but now it`s over,
Why can`t I just leave the stage?
Maybe that`s because you securely locked me up
Then threw away the key.
Oh mama,
Please would you find the key.
Oh pretty mama,
Please won`t you let me go free.
I thought I was lucky
I thought that I`d got it made.
How could I be so blind?
You said good-bye on a corner
That I thought led to the straight.
You set me on a firmly laid and simple course
Then removed the road.
Oh mama,
Please help me find my way.
Oh pretty mama,
Please lead me through the next day.
I thought I was lucky
Oh I thought that I`d got it made.
How could I be so blind? Oh no...
