Every Picture Tells A Story歌词

[00:14.151]Spent some time feeling inferior
[00:22.227]Standing in front of my mirror
[00:25.359]Combed my hair in a thousand ways
[00:30.875]But I came out looking just the same
[00:34.268]Daddy said, son, you better see the world
[00:39.635]I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
[00:43.571]But remember one thing, don't lose your head
[00:49.203]To a woman that'll spend your bread
[00:51.987]So I got out, whoo
[01:07.604]Paris was a place you could hide away
[01:13.379]If you felt you didn't fit in
[01:16.787]The French police wouldn't give me no peace
[01:22.442]They claimed I was a nasty person
[01:26.110]Down along the Left Bank, minding my own, whoo
[01:31.647]Was knocked down by a human stampede
[01:35.371]Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot
[01:40.579]When all I wanted was a cup of tea
[01:44.420]I was accused, whoo
[01:53.442]I moved on
[01:56.403]Down in Rome, I wasn't getting enough
[02:01.667]Of the things that keep a young man alive
[02:05.699]My body stunk, but I kept my funk, whoo
[02:10.530]At a time when I was right outta luck
[02:14.444]Getting desperate, indeed I was, yeah
[02:19.923]Looking like a tourist attraction
[02:23.691]Oh my dear, I better get out of here
[02:29.027]For the Vatican don't give no sanction
[02:32.734]I wasn't ready for that, no, no
[02:40.394]I moved right out east, yeah
[02:44.357]Listen, on the Peeking ferry, I was feelin merry
[02:50.291]Sailing on my way back here
[02:53.733]I fell in love with a slit-eyed lady
[02:59.255]By the light of an eastern moon
[03:03.219]Shanghai Lil never used the pill
[03:08.508]She claimed that it just ain't natural
[03:12.275]She took me up on deck and bit my neck
[03:17.372]Oh, people, I was glad I found her
[03:21.395]Oh, yes I was glad I found her, woo-hoo
[03:30.747]Wait a minute
[03:34.043]I firmly believed that I
[03:39.612]Didn't need anyone but me
[03:42.211]I sincerely thought I was so complete
[03:48.707]Look how wrong you can be
[03:52.219]The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe
[03:58.162]They wouldn't give you the time of day
[04:01.523]But the slit-eyed lady knocked me off my feet
[04:07.411]God, I was glad I found her
[04:11.156]And if they had the words I could tell to you
[04:16.915]To help you on the way down the road
[04:20.163]I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
[04:26.043]cause it's all been said before
[04:29.586]Make the best out of the bad, just laugh it off, ha
[04:35.907]You didn't have to come here anyway
[04:39.940]So remember, every picture tells a story, don't it
[04:43.491]Every picture tells a story, don't it
[04:46.742]Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo
[04:50.083]Every picture tells a story, don't it
[04:53.116]Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo
