I once was a begger
I once was a thief
Asked for some time
And I stole some relief
An arbitrary manuscript to parch what is meant
Then the moment slips away and this is what
Is left
There once was a steamboat
On course with the song
The change that it carried
The same all along
I once was a hero
Once was diseased
Saved all of mankind
Then died
Sick at sea...
