 If you want
 I'll sell  you a life story
 About  a man  who's a loggerheads  with his past  all the time
He's  alive
 and living  in purgatory
 All he's doing  is rooming  in hotels
 And scooping  up lots  of wine
 There was once  a boy  of life
 Who lived  upon  the knife
 He took  his share  of everywhere
 But he never took  a wife...
He  was born
 To live  like a mercenary
 Well personally  I think  that's fine
 If you're in  the right  mind
He  was bur  - ned  by the twentieth century
 Now he's  doing time  in the back  of his mind
 He can hear  them outside
 Better run, rabbit run
Run  into  the sun
Kick  your heels  in the killing fields
Run rabbit run
 You're the son  of a gun
 He was born to live like a mercenary
 Well personally I think that's fine
 If you're in the right mind.
