Someone Else’s Life

(Colin Hay)

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Sometimes I feel like I’m living someone else’s life
I wake up with a stranger who’s someone else’s wife
Sometimes I hear a voice that’s just up to no good
I can’t seem to control myself, and I know I really should

Sometimes I dream I lived a life that wasn’t mine
I spoke in ancient verses and drank expensive wine
Sometimes I drank too much and then I paid the price
I never read the warning signs, I never did think twice

And so I’ll keep on walking up this hill
A gentle warrior’s only distraction
I live with my fears, but really only one
The only one that ever springs to mind

Sometimes I feel guilty for someone else’s crime
And then I wonder if I could do the time
Sometimes I wanna drive straight over the cliff
But that would greatly disappoint the person I am with

And so I’ll keep on walking up this hill
Each step its own destination
I live with my fears, but really only one
The only one that ever springs to mind
I with my but one

So I’ll keep on driving up this hill
Each mile its own destination
I live with my fears, well really only one
The only one that ever springs to mind

Sometimes I feel like I am livin’ someone else’s life
I wake up with a stranger, with someone else’s wife
Sometimes I hear a voice, it’s just up to no good
Can’t seem to control myself, I know I really should
Ooh, ooh, ooh
