Seen the carnival at Rome

Had the women, I had the booze

All that 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 USA 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
D

I will not be reconstructed

Just want to stay right here on the sunnyside of the street

The sunnyside of the street The sunnyside of the street The sunnyside of the street

She had a red red scarf around her neck

Put me on a breeze to Katmandu
I got new papers in a bordello With some luckies and my ID My heart was pounding like a hammer Thai Thai Thai Thai Thai! I am free She kissed me softly on the lips She took my hand without a sound This was our happy ever after So motherfucker kiss the ground She had a red, red scarf around her neck... Ooh she gave me Mekong Whiskey...

Life's a bitch then you die black Hell
Am
E
Am
Hell's ditch naked howling freedom
Am
The killer's hands are bound with chains
E
At six o'clock it starts to rain
E
Am
He'll never see the dawn again our lady of the flowers
Dm
Genet's feeling Ramon's dick
Am
The guy in the bunk above gets sick
E
Am
In the cell next door the lunatic starts screaming for his mother
Black dildo, black hell As the Spanish cops ridiculed my gel A mugshot I remember well Little man, how you have suffered
Dm
I could hear the screams from up above
Am
If it ain't a fist it isn't love
Dm
As for our lady she kneels down
Am
Her neck is bent the blade comes down
Dm
Doing there goes the breakfast bell
Am
Back from heaven back to hell
E
Am
Naked howling freedom, Hell's Ditch
