Hey I was walking my bag Through a 20 storey non-stop snow storm Pirrelli calender girls westling in body lotion My head's swimming with poetry and prose Excuse me one moment whilst I powder my nose Me and my good thing are just about as close as can be We gave up sleep at the age of 17 My world's getting bigger as my eyesight gets worse I can't see the lines on my idiot board What above love? I don't let that stuff in my house This is the glamorous life there's no time for fooling around Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby What's your bag? Hundred million dollar jam Got some traffic yessir in my nose Motorcycle speed cops burning up my dust roads My baby left me heck ain't that a shame She's over in the corner with my new best friend I'm doing fine with my whisky and wine And meet me in the john, John, meet me in the john, John Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby What's your bag? Spin spin whisky and gin I suffer for my art Bartender I got wild mushrooms growing in my yard Fix me a quart of petrol clams on the half shell Feels like prohibition baby give me the hard sell More give me more give me more more more I'm your yes man yes ma'am I'm your yes man Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby What's your bag? Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby What's your bag?

High tide in the cool of the mist Walking in the shadows of the trade ships I'll be your baby, I will not be your man I will not be around when you call Oh daddy, I'll be daddy's little girl Black water, the warm summer rain Washes your tears in to the big snake Into the ocean and your skin is so white under harbour light Should you fall I'll be your baby, say I'll be daddy's little girl Oh daddy, I'm all alone now Hush little baby, don't you cry, I will sing you a lullaby It's high tide in the still of your room and the big snake's a crawling Through the smoke and perfume To be your baby, I will not be your man, I will be around when you fall I'll be your baby, I'll be daddy's little girl Say it be my daddy, I'll be daddy's little girl Oh daddy, we're all alone now Won't you be my daddy? We're all alone now

It took a lost weekend in a hotel in Amsterdam And double pneumonia in a single room And the sickest joke was the price of the medicine Are you laughing at me now? May I please laugh along with you? This morning I woke up from a deep, unquiet sleep With ashtray clothes and this lonely heart's pen With which I wrote for you a lovesong in tattoo upon my palm 'Twas stolen from me when Jesus took my hand You see I, I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it Drop me and I'll fall to pieces So easily I was a king bee with a head full of attitude Wore my heart on my sleeve like a stain And my aim was taboo, you Could we meet in the marketplace? Did I ever hey please, did you wound my knees? You see I, I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it Drop me, and I'll fall to pieces Yeah too easily There's nobody else to blame I hang my head in a crying shame There is nobody else to blame Nobody else except my sweet self It took a lost weekend in a hotel in Amsterdam Twenty four gone years to conclude in tears And the sickest joke was the price of the medicine Are you laughing at me now? May I please laugh along? I was a king bee with a head full of attitude An ashtray heart on my sleeve, wounded knees And my one love song was a tattoo upon my palm You wrote upon me when you took my hand You see I, I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it Drop me and I'll fall to pieces too easily Too easily Too easily

I try not to cry when I hear your name 'Cause I know, I know you're not doing the same But stop your messing around I only got high 'cause you let me down Now the fear that I'm feeling got me falling apart Another scribbled out initial in a chalk love heart Now I'm sitting in the middle of a little kids' park Tryna figure how to stick us right back at the start Get your head out the clouds Get your head out the clouds I try not to lie when I say I'm fine 'Cause I know, I know it's been a long time So what you talking about? You built it up high just to bring it back down Now the fear that I'm feeling got me falling apart Another scribbled out initial in a chalk love heart Now I'm sitting in the middle of a little kids' park Tryna figure how to stick us right back at the start Get your head out the clouds Get your head out the clouds Get your head out the clouds Get your head out the clouds
