No Security

I got a bird what whistles
Baby got a bird
Honey got a bird - it would sing
Baby got a bird
Honey got a bird - it would sing
Without my corinna, sure don't mean
Sure don't mean a natural thing

I learned to love you baby
Honey for i call
Baby for i call your name
Baby for i call
Honey for i call your name
I love you corinna
It sure don't mean
It sure don't mean a natural thing

Have mercy, have mercy
Baby on my hard luck
Honey on my hard luck soul
Baby on my hard luck
Honey on my hard luck soul

I got a raimbow round my shoulder
Looks like silver
Shines like klondike gold

Well i love you honey
Honey tell the world
Baby tell the world i do
Honey tell the world i do
Baby tell the world i do
Ain't no woman in fourteen counties
Love me baby like the way i do

I got a bird what whistles
Baby got a bird
Honey got a bird - it would sing
Baby got a bird
Honey got a bird - it would sing
Without my corinna, sure don't mean
Sure don't mean a natural thing

I was a butcher cutting up meat
My hands were bloody i'm dying on my feet
I was a surgeon 'till i start to shake
I was a falling 'till you put on the brakes

Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now

I was a pitcher down in a slump
I was a fighter taken for a sucker punch
Feeling bad i guess i lost my spring
I was the boxer who can't get in the ring

Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey there ain't no stopping me
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now

I was a hooker losing her looks
I was a writer can't write another book
I was all dried up dying to get wet
I was a tycoon drowning in debt

Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey there ain't no stopping me
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Here i lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, sister morphine, when are you coming round again?
Oh, i don't think i can wait that long
Oh, you see that i'm not that strong

The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears
Tell me, sister morphine, how long have i been lying here?
What am i doing in this place?
Why does the doctor have no face?

Oh, i can't crawl across the floor
Ah, can't you see, sister morphine, i'm trying to score

Well it just goes to show
Things are not what they seem
Please, sister morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams
Oh, can't you see i'm fading fast?
And that this shot will be my last

Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool cool hand on my head
Ah, come on, sister morphine, you better make up my bed
'cause you know and i know in the morning i'll be dead
Yeah, and you can sit around, yeah and you can watch all the
Clean white sheets stained red.

I was out in the city
I was out in the rain
I was feeling down hearted
I was drinking again

I was standing by the bridges
Where the dark water flows
I was talking to a stranger
About times long ago

I was young
I was foolish
I was angry
I was vain
I was charming
I was lucky
Tell me how have i changed

Now i'm out
Oh out of control
Now i'm out
Oh out of control
Oh help me now

And the girls in the doorway
And the boys in the game
And the drunks and the homeless
They all know me

And the police on the corner
Give a nod and a wave
As they point me
To my final destination

I was young
I was foolish
I was angry
I was vain
I was charming
Feeling lucky
Tell me how have i changed

Now i'm out
Oh out of control
Now i'm out
Oh out of control
Oh help me now

In the hotel i'm excited
By the smile on her face
But i wondered
How was time
Gonna change her

I was young
I was foolish
I was angry
I was vain
I was charming
I was out there
Tell me how have i changed

Now i'm out
Oh out of control
Oh i'm out
Oh out of control

I got nasty habits, i take tea at three
Yes, and the meat i eat for dinner
Must be hung up for a week
My best friend, he shoots water rats
And feeds them to his geese
Don'cha think there's a place for you
In between the sheets?

Come on now, honey
We can build a home for three
Come on now, honey
Don't you wanna live with me?

And there's a score of harebrained children
They're all locked in the nursery
They got earphone heads they got dirty necks
They're so 20th century
Well they queue up for the bathroom
'round about 7:35
Don'cha think we need a woman's touch to make it come alive?

You'd look good pram pushing
Down the high street
Come on now, honey
Don't you wanna live with me?

Whoa, the servants they're so helpful, dear
The cook she is a whore
Yes, the butler has a place for her
Behind the pantry door
The maid, she's french, she's got no sense
She's wild for crazy horse
And when she strips, the chauffeur flips
The footman's eyes get crossed

Don'cha think there's a place for us
Right across the street
Don'cha think there's a place for you,
In between the sheets?
