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 heart full 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   Sunnyside of the street   Sunnyside of the street   Sunnyside of the street
