|
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
|
