Genesis - Many Toomany lyrics

Many too many have stood where I stand 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.
