Standin' on a corner,
suitcase in my hand. Jack's in his car, says to Jane, who's in her vest, Me, babe, I'm in a rock n' roll band. Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim, those were different times. And the poets studied rows of verse, and all the ladies rolled their eyes Sweet Jane.....Sweet Jane.....Sweet Jane Now, Jack, he is a banker, and Jane, she is a clerk. And the both of them are saving up their money... then they come home from work. Sittin' by the fire... radio just played a little classical music for you kids, the march of the wooden soldiers and you can hear Jack say Sweet Jane.....Sweet Jane.....Sweet Jane.... Some people like to go out dancing And other people, (like us) they gotta work And there's always some evil mothers they'll tell you life is full of dirt. And the women never really faint, and the villans always blink their eyes. And the children are the only ones who blush. 'Cause life is just to die. But, anyone who has a heart wouldn't want to turn around and break it... and anyone who ever played the part.. he wouldn't want to turn around and fake it... Sweet Jane....etc...and out |

All your two-bit psychiatrists
are giving you electroshock They said, they'd let you live at home with mom and dad instead of mental hospitals But every time you tried to read a book you couldn't get to page 17 'Cause you forgot where you were so you couldn't even read Don't you know they're gonna kill your sons don't you know gonna kill, kill your sons They're gonna kill, kill your sons until they run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run away Mom informed me on the phone she didn't know what to do about dad Took an axe and broke the table aren't you glad you're married And sister, she got married on the island and her husband takes the train He's big and he's fat and he doesn't even have a brain They're gonna kill your sons don't you know they're gonna kill, kill your sons Don't you know they're gonna kill, kill your sons until they run away Creedmore treated me very good but Paine Whitney was even better And when I flipped out on PHC I was so sad, I didn't even get a letter All of the drugs, that we took it really was lots of fun But when they shoot you up with thorizene on crystal smoke you choke like a son of a gun Don't you know they're gonna kill your sons don't you know they're gonna kill, kill your sons Don't you know they're gonna kill, kill your sons until they run, run, run, run, run, run, run away |

Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
by the one who says she needs you above all other men Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed Justice taught her confidence her mother was like steel her cousins, they're all convicts she alone rose above that wheel But a motorcyclist no matter how good is slave to the oncoming truck and the poison of her father was her most pitiless luck Betrayed by the one who says she loves you by the one who says she needs you above all other men Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed Three of us lie in this bed night of infamy one of us lies on our back her father's in her head And quick she turns and slaps my face and with her eyes open wide she screams I hate you, I hate you, I hate you but she's looking right past me Betrayed by the one who says she loves you by the one who says that she needs you above all other men Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed And I lie down betrayed I lie down betrayed |

Holly came from Miami, Fla
Hitchhiked her way across the USA. Plucked her eyebrows on the way Shaved her leg and then he was she - she said: Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side, Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side. Candy came from out on the island, In the backroom she was everybodys darling, But she never lost her head Even when she was given head - she said Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side, Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side. And the coloured girls go, doo dodoo Little Joe never once gave it away, Ev'rybody had to pay and pay. A hustle here and a hustle there New York city is no place where they said: Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side, Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side. Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets Looking for soul food and a place to eat Went to the Apollo, you should have seen him go go go - they said: Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side, Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side. Jackie is just speeding away, Thought she was James Dean for a day Then I guess she had to crash, Valium would have helped that bash - she said: Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side, Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side. And the coloured girls go, doo dodoo |

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm goin' to try for the kingdom if I can 'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man When I put a spike into my vein Then I tell you things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my run And I feel just like Jesus' son And I guess I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know I have made very big decision I'm goin' to try to nullify my life 'Cause when the blood begins to flow When it shoots up the dropper's neck When I'm closing in on death You can't help me not you guys All you sweet girls with all your sweet talk You can all go take a walk And I guess I just don't know And I guess I just don't know I wish that I was born a thousand years ago I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that I put on a sailor's suit and cap Away from the big city Where a man cannot be free Of all the evils in this town And of himself and those around Oh, and I guess I just don't know Oh, and I guess I just don't know Heroin, be the death of me Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life Because a mainer to my vein Leads to a center in my head And then I'm better off than dead When the smack begins to flow Then I really don't care anymore About all the Jim-Jims in this town And everybody putting everybody else down And all of the politicians makin' crazy sounds All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeah Wow, that heroin is in my blood And the blood is in my head Yeah, the God's good as dead Ooohhh, God that I'm not aware I just don't care And I guess I just don't know And I guess I just don't know |
