Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Seen the carnival at Rome
Had the women and 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
On the sunny side of the street
[Verse 2]
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 gonna stay
Right where I am
On the sunny side of the street
[Verse 3]
Been in a palace and I've 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
[Verse 4]
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 wanna stay right here
On the sunny side of the street
The sunny side of the street
The sunny side of the street
The sunny side of the street
