[00:01.50]Songs Title:every picture tells a story
[00:16.73]Spent some time feelin inferior
[00:22.22]Standing in front of my mirror
[00:25.68]Combed my hair in a thousand ways
[00:29.57]But I came out looking just the same
[00:34.59]Daddy said, son, you better see the world
[00:38.78]I wouldnt blame you if you wanted to leave
[00:43.53]But remember one thing dont lose your head
[00:46.58]To a woman thatll spend your bread
[00:52.33]So I got out
[00:54.01]Paris was a place you could hide away
[01:11.78]If you felt you didnt fit in
[01:17.22]French police wouldnt give me no peace
[01:22.96]They claimed I was a nasty person
[01:26.46]Down along the left bank minding my own
[01:30.39]Was knocked down by a human stampede
[01:35.19]Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot
[01:40.70]When all I wanted was a cup of tea
[01:44.09]I was accused
[01:44.71]I moved on
[01:55.08]Down in rome I wasnt getting enough
[02:02.01]Of the things that keeps a young man alive
[02:05.57]My body stunk but I kept my funk
[02:08.88]At a time when I was right out of luck
[02:14.69]Getting desperate indeed I was
[02:19.33]Looking like a tourist attraction
[02:24.13]Oh my dear I better get out of here
[02:29.06]for the vatican dont give no sanction
[02:31.06]I wasnt ready for that, no no
[02:40.11]I moved right out east yeah!
[02:44.72]On the peking ferry I was feeling merry
[02:50.42]Sailing on my way back here
[02:53.79]I fell in love with a slit eyed lady
[02:59.40]By the light of an eastern moon
[03:03.09]Shangai lil never used the pill
[03:05.02]She claimed that it just aint natural
[03:12.13]She took me up on deck and bit my neck
[03:17.56]Oh people I was glad I found her
[03:23.68]Oh yeah I was glad I found her
[03:34.60]I firmly believe that I didnt need anyone but me
[03:42.58]I sincerely thought I was so complete
[03:47.95]Look how wrong you can be
[03:51.70]The women Ive known I wouldnt let tie my shoe
[03:58.00]They wouldnt give you the time of day
[04:01.62]But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet
[04:07.67]God I was glad I found her
[04:11.55]And if they had the words I could tell to you
[04:17.11]To help you on the way down the road
[04:20.23]I couldnt quote you no dickens, shelley or keats
[04:26.04]cause its all been said before
[04:29.90]Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off
[04:36.20]You didnt have to come here anyway
[04:39.51]So remember, every picture tells a story dont it
