I am the searcher of my fortunes I've got my right hand on the wheel We've got to dig for buried treasures I know exactly how i feel I went walkin'through a grave-yard Where the darkness is my friend I heard all about the beginning I want to see just where it ends I have fed the jaded tiger And every tiger knows my name But just as long as long as i can see my face I can tell myself my name Don't want to live inside myself I'm much better of alone But then you must believe in the fallin'rain In the morning Bury me down by the river Saved by the bell Man for all seasons
