[00:04.527]Hey, look out for my glass up there, man!
[00:06.092]That's my drink, man, that's my drink, alright...
[00:11.514]Make it a double, or eh...
[00:13.354]Somebody has to sing
[00:14.133]Some body will sing?
[00:15.375]Somebody will sing, right?
[00:18.670]Y'all pass me that bottle,
[00:22.090]And I'll sing you all a real song
[00:25.907]Yeah!
[00:31.112]Let me get my key, ahum!
[00:34.718]Well, I'm looking through Harlem
[00:38.377]my stomach squeal just a little more
[00:41.733]A stagecouch full of feathers and footprints,
[00:45.358]pulls up to soap-box door
[00:48.733]Now a lady with a pearl-handled necktie
[00:52.628]Tied to the driver's fence
[00:55.763]breathes in my face,
[00:57.565]bourbon and coke possessed words
[01:02.672]Haven't I seen you somewhere in hell,
[01:05.960]or was it just an accident?"
[01:10.657](You know how I felt then, and so)
[01:16.392]Before I could ask "was it the East or West side?"
[01:20.007]my feet they howled in pain
[01:23.668]The wheels of a bandwagon cut very deep,
[01:27.272]but not as deep in my mind as the rain
[01:30.878]And as they pulled away I could see her words
[01:34.277]Stagger and fall on my muddy tent
[01:40.102]Well I picked them up, brushed them off,
[01:42.156]to see what they say,
[01:45.011]and you wouldn't believe:
[01:48.148]'Come around to my room, with the tooth in the middle,
[01:51.791]and bring along the bottle and a president'
[01:55.425]And eh sometimes it's not so easy, baby
[01:59.336]Especially when your only friend,
[02:02.228]talks, sees, looks and feels like you,
[02:07.196]and you do just the same as him
[02:10.507](Gets very lonely up this road, baby)
[02:12.339](Yeah, hmmm, yeah)
[02:20.327](Got more to say!)
[02:23.137]Well I'm riding through LA,
[02:26.939]on a bicycle built for fools
[02:30.299]And I seen one of my old buddies
[02:33.143]And he say, "you don't look the way you usually do"
[02:37.254]I say, "well, some people look like a coin-box"
[02:40.630]He say, "look like you ain't got no coins to spare"
[02:44.253]And I laid back and I thought to myself, and I said this:
[02:51.202]I just picked up my pride from underneath the pay phone,
[02:54.826]and combed this breath right out of my hair
[02:58.466]And sometimes it's not so easy
[03:01.825]Especially when your only friend
[03:05.452]talk, sees, looks and feels like you,
[03:08.567]and you do just the same as him
[03:18.462]just got out of a Scandinavian jail,
[03:22.313]and I'm on my way straight home to you
[03:25.681]But I feel so dizzy I take a quick look in the mirror,
[03:29.288]to make sure my friend's here with me too
[03:32.696]And you know good well I don't drink coffee,
[03:36.056]so you fill my cup full of sand
[03:39.436]And the frozen tea leaves on the bottom
[03:42.522]Sharing lipstick around the broken edge
[03:46.176]And my coat that you let your dog lay by the fire on
[03:49.806]And your cat he attacked me from his pill-box ledge
[03:53.146]And I thought you were my friend too
[03:56.259]Man, my shadow comes in line before you
[03:59.882]I'm finding out that it's not so easy
[04:03.522]Specially when your only friend
[04:06.900]Talks, looks, sees and feels like you,
[04:10.556]and you do the same just like him
[04:15.756](Lord it's so lonely here, hmmm, yeah)
[04:23.172]Yeah!
[04:24.716](Pass me that bottle over there...)
[04:27.841]Yeah, yeah, okay...
