Lyrics

[00:16.19] The life I've always wanted
[00:18.54] I guess I'll never have
[00:20.74] I'll be working for somebody else
[00:23.58] Until I'm in my grave
[00:25.90] I’ll be dreaming of life of ease
[00:28.78] And mountains, oh mountains o'things
[00:36.63] Have a big expensive car
[00:39.03] Drag my furs on the ground
[00:41.95] And have a maid that I can tell
[00:44.38] To bring me anything
[00:47.21] Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
[00:52.05] I'll revel in their attention
[00:54.50] And mountains
[00:55.41] Oh mountains o'things
[01:02.87] Sweet lazy life
[01:04.93] Champagne and caviar
[01:07.94] I hope you'll come and find me
[01:10.60] Cause you know who we are
[01:13.08] Those who deserve the best in life
[01:15.68] And know what money's worth
[01:18.33] And those whose sole misfortune
[01:20.59] Was having mountains o'nothing at birth
[01:27.96] Oh they tell me
[01:30.66] There's still time to save my soul
[01:33.26] They tell me
[01:38.21] Renounce all
[01:41.03] Renounce all those material things you gained by
[01:45.93] Exploiting other human beings
[01:53.56] Consume more than you need
[01:56.61] This is the dream
[01:59.42] Make you pauper
[02:01.78] Or make you queen
[02:04.53] I won't die lonely
[02:06.43] I’ll have it all prearranged
[02:08.94] A grave that’s deep and wide enough
[02:11.39] For me and all my mountains o'things
[02:18.83] Oh they tell me
[02:21.58] There's still time to save my soul
[02:24.12] They tell me
[02:29.17] Renounce all
[02:31.99] Renounce all those material things you gained by
[02:36.89] Exploiting other human beings
[02:45.89] Mostly I feel lonely
[02:54.46] Good good people are
[02:58.90] Good people are only
[03:02.48] My stepping stones
[03:05.90] It's gonna take all my mountains o'things
[03:10.01] To surround me
[03:15.83] Keep all my enemies away
[03:21.12] Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay
[03:30.55] The life I've always wanted
[03:33.11] I guess I'll never have
[03:35.61] I'll be working for somebody else
[03:38.07] Until I'm in my grave
[03:40.52] I'll be dreaming of life of ease
[03:43.23] And mountains, oh mountains o'things
[03:50.35] I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming...
[04:27.95] Dreaming...
