I'M Gonna Strech Out My Life
I WANT TO STRETCH
OUT MY LIFE
LIKE A LONG
LIMOUSINE
DISAPPEAR
OFF THE EDGES
OF A CLIFF
IN A SCENE
PUT MY TRUST
IN A THRUST
TO CHEATS DAYS
TO CHEAT DEATH
LIKE A HERO
WITHOUT HALO
DODGING DANGER
WITH EACH BREATH
TO MAKE
A BIG PICTURE
TO TAKE A
BIG CHANCE
LIKE A STAR
ON A SCREEN
WITHOUT A
FALSE ROLE
OR TRUE FAN
I WANT TO STRETCH
OUT MY LIFE
WITHOUT A
SCRIPT
OR A PAGE
TO TAKE
A REAL ROLE
LOOKING TO
YOUNG FOR
MY AGE
NOT AN ACTOR
BUT A PLAYER
IN AN ACT
THAT'S ALL MINE
TO PUT IT
A VAULT
JUST TO SIT
LIKE
A CLASSIC
IN TIME
2015
