Tmolus
Tmolus /ˈmoʊləs/ (Ancient Greek: Τμῶλος, Tmōlos) was a King of Lydia and husband to Omphale. He is the eponymous namesake of Mount Tmolus (modern Bozdağ), which lies in Lydia with the Lydian capital (later also called Sardis) at its foot and Hypaepa on its southern slope. In Greek mythology he figures as a mountain god, a son of Ares and Theogone and he judged the musical contest between Pan and Apollo.
When Tmolus was gored to death by a bull on the mountain that bears his name, his widow, Omphale, became Queen-regnant of Lydia. Through her, Lydian reign passed into the hands of the Tylonid (Heraclid) dynasty.
The geography of Tmolus and the contest between Pan and Apollo are mentioned in Ovid's Metamorphoses, XI.168.
It has been suggested that there could be another personality named Tmolus, a mythical king of Lydia, a son of Sipylus and Chthonia, and the husband of Plouto and stepfather of Tantalus.

My Life
by: D'mollsMY LIFE Rexx/Valentine
He lost his mind. Ain’t life unkind?
So now he’s playin’ hide ‘n’ seek.
And when he’s not around then it’s lost ‘n’ found.
10 or 20 times a week.
Is he in the pink?
The doctors seem to think that it’s just a pill away.
My Life ain’t no high life, baby.
That high life. . . it ain’t my life, no!
The car got wrecked. Y’know the side effect. . .
Romance ain’t what it used to be.
But then now we know that the afterglow
Honey, is just a pill away. . .
My Life ain’t no high life, baby.
That high life. . . it ain’t my life, no.
A memory loss. And now she’s the boss.
And she knows just how she wants it done.
A level head? Remember what the doctor said,
‘Honey, it’s just a pill away. . .’
My Life ain’t no high life, baby.
