Marie has set up home
|
with a woman half my age
|
a half-wit in a leotard
|
stands on my stage
|
|
The standards have fallen
|
my value has dropped
|
but don't shed a tear
|
some walk like they own the place
|
whilst others creep in fear
|
|
Try if you can
|
to walk like a man
|
but if you don't come near
|
you've got to fly like an eagle
|
prowl like a lion in Africa
|
leap like a salmon home from the sea
|
to keep up with me
|
you've got to walk like a panther tonight
|
|
The old home town just looks the same
|
like a derelict man who has died out of shame
|
like a jumble sale left out in the rain
|
it's not good
|
it's not right
|
|
The standards have fallen
|
my value has dropped
|
but don't shed a tear
|
some walk like they own the place
|
whilst others creep in fear
|
|
Try if you can
|
to walk like a man
|
but if you don't come near
|
you've got to fly like an eagle
|
prowl like a lion in Africa
|
leap like a salmon home from the sea
|
to keep up with me
|
you've got to walk like a panther tonight
|
|
Where did you leave your self respect
|
you like look like a reptile
|
your house is a wreck
|
your existence an insult
|
and stains that are suspect
|
cover your clothes
|
|
The standards have fallen
|
my value has dropped
|
but don't shed a tear
|
some walk like they own the place
|
whilst others creep in fear
|
|
Try if you can
|
to walk like a man
|
but if you don't come near
|
you've got to fly like an eagle
|
prowl like a lion in Africa
|
leap like a salmon home from the sea
|
to keep up with me
|
you've got to walk like a panther tonight
|
walk like a panther tonight
|
to keep up with me you've got to walk like a panther...
