Every Picture Tells A Story歌词

Spent some time feeling inferior standing
In front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
But I came out looking just the same
Daddy said son you better see the world
I wouldn't blame you
If you wanted to leave
But remember one thing
Don't lose your head to a woman
That'll spend your bread
So I got out
Paris was a place you could hide away
If you felt you didn't fit in
French police wouldn't give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the left bank minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot
When all I wanted was
A cup of tea
I was accused
I moved on
Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough
Of the things that
Keep a young man alive
My body stunk
But I kept my funk at a time
When I was right out of luck
Getting desperate indeed
I was looking like a tourist attraction
Oh my dear
I better get out of here
For the Vatican don't give no sanction
I wasn't ready for that no no
I moved right out east yeah
On the Peking ferry
I was feeling merry sailing
On my way back here
I fell in love
With a slant eyed lady
By the light of an eastern moon
Shanghai Lil never used the pill
She claimed that it just ain't natural
She took me up on deck
And bit my neck
Oh people I was glad I found her
Oh yeah I was glad I found her
I firmly believed
That I didn't need anyone but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
Look how wrong you can be
The women I've known
I wouldn't let tie my shoe
They wouldn't give you the time of day
But the slant eyed lady knocked me
Off my feet
God I was glad I found her
And if they had the words
I could tell to you
To help you on your way
Down the road
I couldn't quote you
No dickens Shelley or Keats
'Cause it's all been said before
Make the best out of the bad
Just laugh it off
You didn't have to come here anyway
So remember
Every picture tells a story don't it
