I'd love to live for the lust of life
To lust of life I'd be captive wife
I'd fly enamoured in to every day
Going my enchanted way
Fathoming feelings serene and pleasant
Touched by feelings iridescent
I'd ravish pleasures sweet and coy
Enchanted of the cosmic joy
Revealed supreme magnificent

But ball and chain wrap my spirit up
My passion waiting to erupt
Overwhelmed by thoughts and fears
And all my awful stresses, tears
My mortal suffering I can't transcend
I fear to it there'll be no end
I'd love to live for the lust of life
To lust of life I'd be captive wife
But first I must make my spirit mend
