Live by The Merry Go Round. Released in 1966 it was a hit mostly on the west coast by 1967. It evokes our desire and ability to live beyond the confines of our various walls. Lead singer and composer Emitt Rhodes went on to have a brief but successful recording career, but was disillusioned by legal hassles with his record company.

The hard-to-hear lyrics:
Oh you're the kind of girl who's got theirself wound up in a ball
Oh - you think you live - but how can ya
Locked up in four walls
If you gotta go you better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life's been spent locked in your room
You never had a chance to roam - away from home
So - You're gonna go - Go today - Don't waste any time
For in life a day - Is worth a million - Soon you will find
If you gotta go you better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life's been spent locked in your room
You never had a chance to roam - away from home
Live Live Live Live
Live Live Live Live
Now - Do what you want - Go where you want
It's all up to you
For in life the rule - Is just to do
What you want to do
If you gotta go you better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life's been spent locked in your room
You never had a chance to roam - away from home
If - You don't know now - What life's about
Go on now and live
And if - You don't know how - It's not so hard
Just let go and live
If you gotta go you better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life's been spent locked in your room
You never had a chance to roam - away from home
