Genesis Many Too Many Lyrics

Many too many have stood where I stay
Many more will stand here too,
I think what I find strange
Is the way you built me up
Then knocked me down again.

The part was fun but now it's over,
Why can't I just leave the stage?
Maybe that's because
You securely locked me up
Then threw away the key.

Oh!!! mama
Please would you find the key.
Oh!!! pretty mama,
Please won't you let me go free.
I thought I was lucky
I thought that I'd got it made.
How!!! could I be so blind?

You said good bye on a corner
That I thought led to the straight.
You set me on a firmly
Laid and simple course
Then removed the road.

Oh!!! mama,
Please help me find my way.
Oh!!! pretty mama,
Please lead me through the next day.
I thought I was lucky
Oh!!! I thought that I'd got it made.
How!!! could I be so blind?
Oh, no!!!...
