Some people say you got a psychedelic presence   Shinin' in the park with a bioluminescense   Down these city streets I see you comin'   From afar and I know      In this world ain't nobody's got the shine   Like you got to shine in this world   Ain't nobody's got the shine   Like you got to shine in this world      Nobody sings like Mary Sue Bell   Nobody prays like Willie Mac Tell   Nobody walks a mile in my stolen shoes like I do      In this world ain't nobody's got the shine   Like you got to shine in this world   Ain't nobody's got the shine   Like you got to shine in this world      I still miss my lonesome lover   And I can't find no single other   To take his empty place   In my heart of hearts, I told him      In this world ain't nobody's got the shine   Like you got to shine in this world   Ain't nobody's got the shine   Like you got to shine in this world      The ghost of Shakespeare's on the street   Corduroy hat layin' at his feet   Howlin' in the harp   These dirty city blues fallin' hard      In this world ain't nobody's got the shine   Like you got to shine in this world   Ain't nobody's got the shine   Like you got to shine in this world      Zora Neale Hurston told her story   And they kicked her out of New York city   Just like Jesus Christ in Gallilee, like I said      In this world ain't nobody's got the shine   Like you got to shine in this world   Ain't nobody's got the shine   Like you got to shine in this world      Some people say I got a psychedelic presence   Shinin' in the park with a bioluminescense   Down these city streets I see you comin'   From afar and I know      Ain't nobody's got the shine   Like you got to shine in this world   Ain't nobody's got the shine   Like you got to shine in this world
