Wardrobe full of designer wears Valuables in my vault, Now, I'm wrapped in a piece of cloth Nurses attend my call.

From five star to five star, I'd move my days To dine or celebrate, Now, I'm moved from bed to lab Back again to isolate. Private jets with ease I flew From place of work to home, Then a holiday on a cruise enjoy But now I frequent the dome. Nothing matters: no not wealth, delight, Good times, pomp and fame,
