Youlden-Chrysalis Music Ltd. My days are shaded gray And my nights are shaded blue My face is lined with worry And my mind is split in two Feel just like a man Who's last real hope is gone Morality and religion Didn't teach me right from wrong And I need a little something Oh, just to mellow my days 'Cause I'm getting tired of acting In lifes one act play The world is changing fast Ain't got time to think twice Wanna keep on the ball Then you got to pay the price You can't judge the future By looking at the past And there ain't nobody out there Who you can stop and ask Oh, I need a little something Just to mellow my days 'Cause I'm getting tired of acting In lifes one act play Some people think, oh yes they do
They found the way But they're a dime a dozen You can see them everyday Some people are happy In their delusions Oh, I wish sometimes I could share, I could share their illusions But nobody really knows What this life is all about Those who think they do Are the ones who should have doubts Sometimes I wonder What they are going to do When their cozy dreams are shattered And reality shows through Oh, I need a little something Just to mellow my days 'Cause I'm getting tired of acting In lifes one act play And I need a little something Just to mellow my days 'Cause I'm getting tired of acting In lifes one act play In lifes one act play In lifes one act play In lifes one act play
