Sunny Side of the Street

Seen the carnival at Rome

Had the women I had the booze

All 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 sunny side of the street

Stepped over bodies in Bombay

Tried to make it to the U.S.A.

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 sunny side 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 sunny side 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

I will not be reconstructed

Just want to stay right here, on the sunny side of the street

On the sunny side of the street
