Swingin Man |
| I am the swingin' man, perpetually on the lam |
| Free as a bird or the girls in Amsterdam |
| Yellow taxi ride, hey, I never exercise |
| The devil when I speak or when I rise |
| Buddy Holly, told me |
| You can’t save rock 'n' roll |
| It’s only for the lonely boys and girls |
| I’m a courageous cat down at the Laundromat |
| A sacred cow I never took a vow |
| Like old buildings and whores, politicians and wars |
| All get respect man if they last this long |
| They used to call her Mary |
| But she changed her name to Raph |
| Life was something scary till she laughed |
| We never had a baby but she got more tattoos |
| And I got more material for the blues |
| Summer’s rolling in |
| I want to lose this skin |
| They call it art but sometimes it’s just a sin |
| I am a swingin' man, hey, I smile on command |
| I don’t know when or how you got to me |
| We never had a baby but she got more tattoos |
| And I got more material for the blues |
