Day Late and a Dollar Short - Ian Gillan, Ronnie Dio, Uli Jon Roth

Once I tried to eat myself alive

I wanted to know what I was like inside

In the morning every day of my life

Face in my mirror seems so surprised

And I dance by the light of the silvery moon

Day late and a dollar short

That’s what my momma said

Wild dreams and empty thoughts

Going through your head

Once I tried to set myself on fire

I was burning with desire

Voice of reason whispers in my ear

I see the light but I cannot hear

Naked dancers chanting in the night

Day late and a dollar short

Never was and I never will be what you’re gonna be

A day late and a dollar short it’s what my momma said

Wild dreams and empty thoughts

Going through your head

Day late and a dollar short

Dream on, dream on

You’re dreamin'

Day late and a dollar short

Momma said

Get back to your bed

Day late and a dollar short

It’s what she said to me
