Vinnie Colaiuta - Of Mice And Men lyrics

[Chorus] The fire burns on and on That drives me on until all is gone Except the simple plans Of mice and men [Verse 1] Back when I was just seventeen I thought that I knew everything I could make it in this scene To be a rising star that only gleamed But all the answers disagreed With the questions held for me I was legal now at twenty-one I knew the way the world should run My God, just look what I had done Simply drunk and having fun Looked for friends, but I found none All alone at twenty-one [Solo - Poland] [Chorus][x2] [Verse 2] At twenty-five I was surprised That I was even half-alive Somehow I managed to survive I felt my body doing time And in my back a hundred knives From my friends at twenty-five And now as Gabriel sounds my warning bell I'd buy your life, if you would sell A year or two if less compelled So live your life and live it well There's not much left of me to tell I just got back up each time I fell [Solo - Poland] [Chorus] [Solo - fills Poland] [Solo - Mustaine] [Chorus][x4]
