	作词 : Dement
	A cold wind against my shoulder woke me up in the middle of the night
	An Autumn leaf was scraping against my window
	like it was trying hard to get inside
	and then a ghost that I had met before kept me up 'til dawn
	and everything I thought was right was suddenly all wrong
	He said, "Your score is looking pretty bad"
	and then he asked me what it was that I had to show
	So I went running down a list of things
	some were real, but on some of them I lied
	'cause I felt I had to justify each breath that I'd been breathing in this life
	Then I realized I was playing into someone else's rules,
	trying to keep my score up in a game I did not choose
	Then I looked that ghost straight in the eye
	and said "You'd better not be coming back by again"
	And it's true that I don't work near as hard
	as you tell me that I'm supposed to
	I don't run as fast as I could
	but I live just the way I want to
	and that's the way I should
	October's leaves were dancing 'round
	like angels dressed in robes of Red and Gold
	but November's come and gone now
	and they're lying in the gutter out along the road
	They're gonna make their way out to the ditch or someday to the sea,
	they'll get to where they're going without the help of you or me
	and if each life is just a grain of sand
	I'm telling you man, this grain of sand is mine
	And it's true that I don't work near as hard
	as you tell me that I'm supposed to
	I don't run as fast as I could
	but I live just the way I want to
	and that's the way I should
	but I live just the way I want to
	and that's the way I should
