My life is like a dream
Where I am a drunken man
I see things moving about
Far from my control
My thoughts aloof within me

I try to react but it's too late
When I realise it, the chance is already gone
Forces are at play
That control my actions like a puppet

I turn left where I should turn right
I am neither going nor coming
I am a madman
I know not myself

What I want I cannot grasp
What I have, I have no need of
Driven by mischievous ideas
I long, yearn and lust
I cannot control it

I yield to fate
Time becomes my ally
One day I will be king
I will escape from this dream
And really live as I ought
