My Musical Career (Moondog Suite III) Songtext

von Hemlock Smith

My Musical Career
Steers Clear
Of any kind of success
My Musical Career
So Dear to me
You didn't hear from me, I guess…

Dressing out for rare occasions that never go so well
Expressing what I really mean but what I can never tell
Depressing songs for lonely people who really need some fun
Wrestling with the million reasons that always block the sun

My parents told me to quit, but who's gonna ever admit, that?

My Musical Career
Steers Clear
Of any kind of success
My Musical Career
So Dear to me
You didn't hear from me, I guess…

This beautiful pain…
This beautiful pain…
This beautiful pain…

Some people hear the chimes of heaven-and others find the grail
Those who get their act together and those who always fail
Some who sing of sacred visions and who command the rain
But I'm the king of indecision-stubborn and vain…

My agent told me to quit
But the pavement's a nice place to sit there…

My Musical Career
Steers Clear
Of any kind of success
My Musical Career
So Dear to me
You didn't hear from me, I guess…

This beautiful pain…
This beautiful pain…
This beautiful pain…
