The Hedonist

The Hedonist

All I ever wanted to do
Was to make a fresh start and to have a soft landing
All I ever wanted to do
Was to make my mark, but the verdict’s still pending
All I ever wanted to find
Was an easy little score that could buy a little more time
All I ever wanted to find
Was a goody-goody ho that would really be all mine

(chorus)
Who could see it would lead to a long, long fall down
(ran like a man with the world upon his hands)
Who could see it would end in the cold, cold ground
(ran like a man with the world upon his hands – oh no)

All I ever really wanted to do
Was to reach a new high and to keep it ascending
All I ever really wanted to do
Was to have my own way and to have it unbending
All I ever really wanted to say
Was a silky-smooth line that would get me some tonight
All I ever really wanted to say
Was a bold faces lie that would put me in a good light
(chorus)
Who could see it would lead to a long, long fall down
(ran like a man with the world upon his hands)
Who could see it would end in the cold, cold ground
(ran like a man with the world upon his hands – oh no)

(break)
(chorus)
Who could see it would lead to a long, long fall down
(ran like a man with the world upon his hands)
Who could see it would end in the cold, cold ground
(ran like a man with the world upon his hands – oh no)
Who could see it would lead to a long, long fall down
(ran like a man with the world upon his hands)
Who could see it would end in the cold, cold ground
(ran like a man with the world upon his hands – oh no)
