A Vagabond’s Life Lyrics by Mono Inc.

Melodies in Black

2018

[Verse 1]
Here comes a barrow, rumbling down the lane
Some call him a thief, some said he was insane
Straining in the darkness, sleeping in the day
That's what they say
A lifeless body in a mothy robe
A worn-out hat and a perforated coat
Nobody's gonna miss him or gather at his grave
That's what they say

[Chorus]
What's your name, vagabond?
Where have you been?
What's your aim, vagabond?
What have you seen?
Where do you come from
And what do you strive?
Come tell me about a vagabond's life

[Verse 2]
Ashes to ashes, the glow of thrombose
Leaves off society, he was one of those
Was living on others, put all us to shame
That's what they say
He walked with a limp but he'd been around
From far east to west with a northwind down south
He was rendered an outlaw was time to repay
That's what they say

[Chorus]
What's your name, vagabond?
Where have you been?
What's your aim, vagabond?
What have you seen?
Where do you come from
And what do you strive?
Come tell me about a vagabond's life

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Don't call it murder, how can you dare?
Turn around and leave, you shouldn't really care
All cases closed and pauper's grave
That's what they say

[Reprise 1]
Rest in peace, vagabonds
Where have you been?
Rest in peace, vagabonds
What have you seen?
Where did you come from
And what did you strive?
Come tell me about a vagabond's life, yeah

[Reprise 2]
Rest in peace, vagabonds
Where have you been?
Rest in peace, vagabonds
What have you seen?
Where did you come from
And what did you strive?
The story of the vagabond's life

[Outro]
The story of a vagabond's life
