Kingston Trio - My Lord What a Mornin' lyrics

So enter this life and choose the squares

Choose wisely where you really want to stand.

So start ticking time and mark the end.

So I know when it dies, so I know the aim.

I love the feverish tickle that gets me

When all again - and again - is set to fall

When they think they've been running for ages - on and on.

But hardly moved a square at all - at all.

Now sleep my pawn - to play the game

The game that all of you have come to see.

The game that's played for you alone - me alone?

And be amused how it struggles on - and on.

Enter the lies - on to the stage!

And close your eyes - go on - be born!
