Lyrics

SHITTY SIDE OF TOWN

I GOT MY BACK PACKED ON
IT’S HONEST AND ALLOWED
AND SO I SAUNTER ON
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE ANYHOW
THE BAREFOOT CROSS THE STREET
THE GIRL LAYING IN A DIRE
I HOPE A FEW MORE BLOCKS
WILL HELP ME TO ADMIRE

WHERE ALL THE FEELINGS GOING DOWN
WHERE ALL THE CITY CAN BE FOUND

I MET THIS FELLOW WHILE OUT
TAKING THE DOGS FOR A SKATE
I THINK HE TRIED TO TELL ME HOW
COULDN’T UNDERSTAND HIM ANYWAY

CAUSE THERE WAS EVERYTHING AROUND
WHEN YOUR ON THE SHITTY SIDE OF TOWN

EVERY TIME I CROSS THE STREET
THERE'S A NEW PATH IN MY WAY
BUT EVERY TIME I MOVE MY FEET
I SLOWLY FADE AWAY

WHERE ALL THE FEAR IS GOING DOWN
WHEN YOUR ON THE BUSINESS SIDE OF GROUND

I PUT MY LEFT FOOT OUT
AND DIRECTLY INTO MY MOUTH
COULDN’T EVEN TELL YOU IF
I’M HEADED UP OR SOUTH

CAUSE EVERYBODY’S GETTING DOWN
RIGHT HERE IN THE SHITTY SIDE OF TOWN

YOU CAN SLEEP RIGHT IN YOUR CAR
YOU CAN SLEEP JUST ABOUT ANY PLACE
BETTER LEAVE THOSE WINDOWS DOWN
THERE AIN’T NOTHING IN THERE TO TAKE

CAUSE ALL THE DEALS ARE GOING DOWN
LATER ON IN THE SHITTY SIDE OF TOWN

I THOUGHT ABOUT RESCINDING
ALL THOSE EARLY THOUGHTS
I ALSO THOUGHT THE
LIVING HELL WERE COSMONAUTS

CAUSE EVERYBODY LENDS A HAND
WHEN YOUR ON THE SHITTY CHUNK OF LAND

JUST WHEN I FOUND THIS OUT
I NEGLECT TO RECOLLECT
CAUSE IT DOESN’T MATTER NOW
IT’S ALL OUT OF CONTEXT

CAUSE ALL YOU NEEDED CAN BE FOUND
RIGHT HERE IN THE SHITTY SIDE OF TOWN
