I was born yesterday, 300 years ago And there ain't no explanation For this situation that I'm in And I don't want to live forever That's just the way it's always been All of the children I've had in my life I've watched them grow up and Grow old and then die And my wives, oh how I've missed my wives Why won't the angels come take me away? Tears drip 'cause a quiver in your lip When I remember the people that I've left behind Tears drip 'cause a quiver in your lip When I remember the reason that I'm still alive I am ever human being It's this curse, it's this gift, it's the blood It's the blood and I am the chosen one I am the chose one Tears drip 'cause a quiver in your lip When I remember the people that I've left behind Tears drip 'cause a quiver in your lip When I remember the reason that I'm still alive This can't go on forever (Forever) This can't go on forever Somebody take me away Somebody take me away Tears drip 'cause a quiver in your lip When I remember the people that I've left behind Tears drip 'cause a quiver in your lip When I remember the reason that I'm still alive I am ever human being It's this curse, it's this gift, it's the blood It's the blood and I am the chosen one I am the chose one
