1. Seen the carnival at Rome, had the women I had the booze,
D G - D G A
all I
can remember now is little kids
without no shoes.

So I saw the train and I got on it,
D G
with
a heartful of hate and a lust for vomit,
D A D
now
I’m walking on the sunny side of the street.

ended
up in Nepal, up on a roof with nothing at all.

where I am, on the sunny side of the street.

to spend my life as I would a whore,

I know I’m better
than before, I will not be reconstructed,

stay right here on the sunny side of the street.
