Sold My Soul

Well, somebody found it somewhere
 At an old flea market fair
 With no number on the tag
 Let it go for half a dollar
 Well, they didn't even bother
 To wrap it up inside a bag
 I was drinkin' gasoline
 In a half price limousine
 Watching TV in the back
 When much to my surprise
 When I hit Channel 5
 Nearly had a heart attack
 I sold my soul somewhere so long ago
 Oh, I didn't think too much at the time
 I was young and I didn't know
 Oh, 'til I saw it late one night
 On the antique road show
 Expert collectors to appraise, oh
 ♪
 Well, the trip that I was on
 Like a re-run marathon
 Of blue days and black nights
 Where the Marlboro Angels play
 For the men like birds of prey
 'Neath the masthead burning bright
 I saw it on display
 Like imitation Faberge
 Ogled by the mid-life herds
 Yeah, the signal came on through
 Like a bad dream come true
 Leaves you at a loss for words
 I sold my soul somewhere so long ago
 Oh, I didn't think too much at the time
 I was young and I didn't know
 Oh, 'til I saw it late one night
 On the antique road show
 Like looking into my own grave, oh

 Well, they're throwing it all away
 I may get it back some day
 They just can never see
 What it could mean to me
 I sold my soul somewhere so long ago
 Oh, I didn't think too much at the time
 I was young and I didn't know
 Oh, 'til I saw it late one night
 On the antique road show
 Oh, just to see what I could raise, oh

 So what's it gonna be?
 You want a piece of me?
 Could it help to ease the pain?
 Can you tell me so?
 'Cause I'd like to know
 If you have been entertained
 By a funeral song
 For even half as long
 As your attention span allows
 Can you tell me so?
 'Cause I'd like to know
 If you have been entertained
