A Well Known Has-Been

Tonight my life is heavy, I'm weak and down at heel

The prisoner in the dungeon will know just how I feel

I'm a well known has-been, a well known has-been

I've got a brand on me

When I look at my tomorrows, sorrow's all I see

Sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see

How sad my disposition, how long can it I bear ?

How deep my melancholy, can anybody care ?

For the well known has-been, the well known has-been

I've got a brand on me, yeah

When I look at my tomorrows, sorrow's all I see

Sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see

Well known has-been

Well known has-been

Well known has-been, ooh, ooh, ooh

I pretend I'm unaffected by the chains that bear me down

And when only those who love me can see behind the frown

I'm the well known has-been, the well known has-been

I got a brand on me

When I look at my tomorrows, sorrow's all I see

Sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see

From these broken days of anguish, some day soon I'm gonna rise

I'm gonna raise my head to Heaven, I'm gonna fly the starry skies

And the well known has-been, the well known has-been

I'll lose the brand on me, yeah

Today's all I see, today's all I see, today's all I see
