Seen the carnival at Rome

Had the women 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 the sunnyside of the street





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 going to stay





Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street



Been in a palace, 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 sunnyside of the street





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 sunnyside of the street



On the sunnyside of the street
