Past Life Lyrics

David muttered silently as he was cleaning up the store

You were not born to die here

You were made for something more

And at that very moment

In walked this big cat from the city

Real big guy

And let me tell you

David got that twinkle in the corner of his eye

David hated just being David

Didn't want to be himself

But if he couldn't make his life work

What if he stole somebody else's

Give me your personality and your face

And I'm taking your place

As you sink in the river of a past life

That don't make sense to me

Looking back it was amazing that the fellow looked so much like him

So that when he took him over

It was so easy to fit in

Fit in, I'm sayin'

To his clothes, his job, his swanky apartment

Maybe even fit in to some people

If you know what I'm sayin'

Oh yeah, you do

David tried but something wasn't right

And he was bored before too long

Even though he'd had a good life

It was time to move along

Give me a new identity and a name

And I'll forfeit the shame of a past life

A past life

A past life

That don't make sense no more

My soul, my soul only dreams about the end
