The lights are spinnin'
|
I gotta get myself up off the floor
|
My head is ringin'
|
Bet they think I can't take too much more
|
The crowd is howlin'
|
Like the ocean's pounding roar
|
My legs are goin' out
|
Someone up there don't like me
|
|
Now my right and my left will decide
|
'Cause they're done with this bum takin' dives
|
Now my eyes may be swollen with right hooks and tears
|
But I see salvation tonight
|
In a left and a right
|
|
Called me a kid, champ or lefty
|
A bowery kid to the core
|
Fast cars and hipster movie stars
|
I ain't got none of that anymore
|
Now I'm down in the seventh
|
In the eighth my ribs are sore
|
In the ninth I'm staggerin'
|
Someone up there don't like me
|
|
It's a one-way ticket
|
Smart money's showin' me the door
|
Backed on the ropes now
|
Someone up there don't like me anymore
|
When the crowd goes silent
|
One thing that I know for sure
|
Knock me down one time
|
I'll be comin' back for more
|
