|
Seen the carnival at Rome |
|
Had the women I had the booze |
|
All I can remember now |
|
Is little kids without no shoes |
|
So I saw that train |
|
And I got on it |
|
With a heartful of hate |
|
And a lust for vomit |
|
Now I'm walking on the sunnyside of the street |
|
Stepped over bodies in Bombay |
|
Tried to make it to the U.S.A. |
|
Ended up in Nepal |
|
Up on the roof with nothing at all |
|
And I knew that day |
|
I was going to stay |
|
Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street |
|
Been in a palace, been in a jail |
|
I just don't want to be reborn a snail |
|
Just want to spend eternity |
|
Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street |
|
As my mother wept it was then I swore |
|
To take my life as I would a whore |
|
I know I'm better than before |
|
I will not be reconstructed |
|
Just wanna stay right here |
|
On the sunnyside of the street |
