| [00:04.710] |
See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans |
| [00:10.160] |
Wearin' yesterday's misfortunes like a smile |
| [00:15.210] |
Once he had a future full of money love and dreams |
| [00:20.500] |
Which he spent like they was going out of style |
| [00:25.070] |
And he keeps right on a changin' for the better or the worse |
| [00:30.870] |
And searchin' for a shrine he's never found |
| [00:35.790] |
Never knowing if believin' is a blessin' or a curse |
| [00:41.170] |
Or if the going up is worth to coming down |
| [00:46.040] |
He's a poet he's a picker he's a prophet he's a pusher |
| [00:51.330] |
He's a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he's stoned |
| [00:56.200] |
He's a walking contradiction partly truth and partly fiction |
| [01:01.330] |
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home |
| [01:12.480] |
He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars |
| [01:17.790] |
And he's traded in tomorrow for today |
| [01:23.270] |
Runnin' from the devils Lord and reachin' for the stars |
| [01:28.210] |
And losin' all he loved along the way |
| [01:32.940] |
But if this world keeps right on turnin' for the better or the worse |
| [01:37.880] |
And all he ever gets is older and around |
| [01:41.870] |
From the rocking of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse |
| [01:48.110] |
The going up was worth the coming down |
| [01:52.730] |
He's a poet he's a picker he's a prophet he's a pusher |
| [01:57.900] |
He's a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he's stoned |
| [02:02.770] |
He's a walking contradiction partly truth and partly fiction |
| [02:07.890] |
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home |
| [03:20.500] |
