Pack on my back I wander
Over mountains across the seas
My yearning soul keeps roaming
In the endless search for peace
sky is my roof, my shelter
Stars shine and light my way
Earth is my bed, my altar
On this road
that leads to nowhere
In silence I scream
but no one listens to me
Absolution, salvation
my sins won't leave me be
The first cry, the last breath
We are born to die
This madness neverending
Don't know the reason why
Soul of a vagabond
Illusion, delusion
we are born to live
Temptation, damnation
starvation, deformation
<Interlude>
The road goes on forever
It's an old
and trustworthyfriend
I have tasted
its dust and treasures
By my twisted mind won't mend
My burden is heavy to carry
My destiny lies ahead
My spirit is always leaving
For this road
that leads to nowhere
In silence I scream
but no one listens to me
Absolution, salvation
my sins won't leave me be
The first cry, the last breath
We are born to die
This madness neverending
Don't know the reason why
Soul of a vagabond
Illusion, delusion
we are born to live
Temptation, damnation
starvation, deformation
<Interlude>
In silence I scream
but no one listens to me
Absolution, salvation
my sins won't leave me be
The first cry, the last breath
We are born to die
This madness neverending
Don't know the reason why
Illusion, delusion
we are born to live
Temptation, damnation
starvation, deformation
cked down
and they put you first in line
And so you finally ask yourself
just how big you are
and take your place in a wiser
world of bigger motor cars

So Where the hell was Biggles
when you needed him
last Saturday
And where were all the sportsmen
who always pulled you though
They're all resting down
in Cornwall
writing up their memoirs
for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual
See there! A man born
