Out on the town kicking around feeling bluesy It's getting late I can't afford to be choosy Should be home and dry by now tried every trick in the book but Another night Saturday night and I'm losing Another night Saturday night and I'm losing The DJ plays a song from the past I remember I hold her tight in my arms she surrenders It's the same old record playing but it's a different girl that's swaying chorus As we move around the room whispering things with my eyes closed I feels that you're here Then the music stops I open my eyes My fantasy ends We're not even friends So leave me to catch my ride pay my fare on my way home The same thing every week on my own Next time around you might be there my luck might change but until then chorus |

Heading out on my way to nowhere just a traveling man Hitching rides along the highway from whoever I can Gotta stop someplace somewhere and put some leather on my shoes They're the only pair that get me there any horizon that I choose I know when the cold wind blows my coat will keep me warm I've got no woman's love to call my own I saw you lying there a cast-off from another man So I picked you up took you home and home is on my back Lonely hobo lullaby is my song Lonely hobo lullaby gets me along My shoes my coat my jeans and anything else I own We're a family without a tree no roots to hold us down verse 1 verse 2 |

Shook my head out of dreams Reality's calling The early bird's been up all morning but I've got no notion of moving from where I am Though my legs won't move I feel disabled I'm on a shelf an article labeled waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found I'm down No one to hear me calling I'm down No one to see me falling I'm down Had my ways with days of sunshine Life came easy it all fell in line But then again I didn't realise When you're used to one thing it's hard to accept another Like the woman who brought you up well she ain't your mother How do you cope with a thing like that chorus I always thought it was my dad who went to war Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall My pseudo-brother Billy emigrated long ago Someone went through pain to have me someone I should know I'm down I'm down To the folks who brought me up I'm not ungrateful Kept the secret from me they thought it was shameful It hurt me so to be the last one to know Maybe someone's out there looking for me Left on their own couldn't afford to clothe me And I I don't even know my real name chorus I'm down I'm down I'm down |

Johnny was a pusher on the east side Pushing anything to be pushed Laid something on a guy who didn't get high Didn't know the guy was a hood Wheeling-dealing johnny got frightened Thought the best place was out of town Packed up his bags and threw them in the back Packed up his bags and threw them in the back Of his chevy put his foot flat down Look out johnny there's a monkey on your back You better beware there johnny 'cause the monkey's packin' a gat Drivin' over red lights speeding down the freeway Johnny johnny get away You better beware there johnny There's a monkey on your back Johnny thought he'd do something clever Turning south on the old coast road Pushing 94 swerving leaning on the door Trying to shake off his heavy load Crossed the state line feeling safer Drinking in the corner of a bar In walked a guy looked the barman in the eye Said hey is johnny in here Chorus You better beware there johnny There's a monkey on your back Be good You better beware there johnny There's a monkey on your back Look out johnny 'cos the monkey's packin' a gat Drivin' over red lights speeding down the freeway Johnny johnny get away You better beware there johnny There's a monkey on your back Look out johnny there's a monkey on your back (repeat) |

Bright light city's high
Maybe we're gonna fly Get on the scene King and Queen Layin' To the music if you know what I mean Downtown get around Searchin' for a mean sound Itchy feet wanna dance to the beat Layin' To the music if you know what I mean Comin' on strong won't be long Reachin' out to where I belong I'm in my stride Good music to ride by Horse riders in the sky (repeat) Drinkin' wine from a slipper shoe Baby can we boogaloo Move to the right Slip in tight Layin' to the music all night Layin' to the music it's all right Layin' to the music all night |

I woke up in the morning
Heard a mockingbird sing Was he laughing at me I went to the basin washed the sleep out my eyes So I could see A note on the bed close to where my lover should be She slipped away in the night The writing was shaky and with tears on the sheets I'm sorry we had a fight So farewell sweet lover farewell I'm sorry we never said goodbye So farewell sweet lover farewell Left with a tear in your eye Must've been brewing for a very long time In the wardrobe the hangers are bare Don't know how you did it it must've been planned You even took your favourite chair So goodbye my lady goodbye You won't find no tear in my eye So goodbye my lady goodbye Going out tonight to get high Found myself at Charlies scene Drinking all fashions sticky painted movie queen Winked her eye at me That's how it happened Diamond shoes satin dress flashin' flashin' flashin' flashin' Woke up in the morning heard my mockingbird sing And it was singin' for me The lady I met last night's here by my side She's good company Well hello sweet lady hello Good morning with a smile Well hello sweet lady hello This lady's gonna make it alright This lady's gonna make it alright This lady's gonna make it alright Lady lady This lady's gonna make it alright x4 |
