(Instrumental)

I ain't got no money, cause my river's runnin' dry.
I ain't go no money, and I'm a needin' to get high, oh ya.
Can you lend me a dime buddy, or ya know I'm gonna die. Ha!

I once had it all babe, I was walkin' 10 feet tall.
I once had it all babe, never thought I would fall, oh ya.
But that mean old fate darlin', came and gave me a call. Oh ya!

(Instrumental)

I've been sleepin' in this doorway, a place that I call my own.
I've been sleepin' on this stoop babe, thinkin' you'll toss me a bone, oh ya.
But ya lost your way honey, it's a long way from home. Huh!

I'm lookin' for the magic, that makes the world go away.
I'm lookin' for that magic, all I wanna see is grey, ya know it's true.
I’m tryin' to stop the madness, and find a quiet place to stay. Ah, take me there! Ho!

(Instrumental x 2)

Don't cry for my baby, ya know I'm already gone.
Don't ya cry for me darlin’, I've been livin' way too long, oh ya.
When they bury me honey, ya know I’ll be singin' this song. Ho! Ya!

(Instrumental)

When they bury me honey, ya know I'll be singin' this song. Arg!
