Down and out in london

Los angeles and paris, too, uh-huh

I drank a river in my time

To get on through, yeah



Well, the night, it rise above you, rise above me

And the blues, they swirl around me



To the heart of soul

You got to bleed a little while you sing

Lest the words don't mean nothing, no

Get to the heart of soul

Gotta get to the heart of soul, yeah



Get to the hip, now baby

'fore the hip get to you, lil' woman

Try to bend me out of shape

Can't tell me, can't tell me what to do, little honey



Well, the night, it rise above me, rise above me, yeah

And those blues, they swirl around me, ooh, ooh



To the heart of soul

You gotta bleed a little while you sing

Lest the words don't mean nothing, no

You gotta bleed a little while your singing, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lest the words don't mean nothing, no
