Another Life - James Maddock

My future is uncertain
My back starts hurting
As soon as I get out of bed
Listen to the news station
Trouble in the whole nation
Airplane passes by
It's got to be a mile high
Reminds me that I'm not a bird.
But there's a side of me
One part prisoner, and one part free
There's only so much any man can be
We all want another life.
Another 50 years
To see the outback in himalayas
Feel that arctic wind around your ears
We all want another life
I'm picking up my pay-check
How am I gonna make it?
How am I gonna get out of this hole?
Stuck in a time frame, caught up in the mundane
I wanna learn dancing, motorbike riding.
Maybe, have a kid or two, or three.
But there's a side of me.
One part prisoner, and one part free.
There's only so much any man can be.
We all want another life,
Another 50 years.
To see the outback in himalayas
Feel that arctic wind around your ears.
We all want another life.
I wanna try acting
White water rafting
Be a total failure
Backpacking in Australia?
Learn to play the sitar
Get better on my guitar
Try some of my legal substances
There's a side of me
One part prisoner, and one part free
There's only so much any man can be.
We all want another life.
There's so much to know
So many places that you wanna go
We've hardly got the time to stop and say hello
We all want another life
Sail the Baltic sea
Ride an elephant Timbukthree
Walk this land from sea to shining sea
We all want Another Life.
